Skimmer.

[Hollywood]

I have a 90g tank. About two months old now. I have a hang on the back prism skimmer. I was wondering how long does it take to actually see build up of scum in the cup? I am not sure if it is working properly.

Anywhere from a couple days to a week or so depending on how wet your skimming it should need to be emptied.

So it's been goin for at least a month. I must not have it working properly.

Do you have any fish and is the skimmer producing good bubbles?

 

[Hollywood]

No fish yet but i do have crads snails and a star fish. What do you mean by good bubbles?

 

[tamra&steven]

the skimmer make bubbles thats how it fills the cup up. if you skimmer is not producin bubbles then you have a problem you need to make an adjustment if you can on that skimmer.

Made an adjustment to a knob that I didn't even know I could and started getting bubbles at the bottom of the cup. I guess over time more bubbles will come and will over flow into the cup?

Sounds about right.
