My problem is there is no cohesion of the bubbles in my protein skimmer? After the break in period it seemed like the protein skimmer was working. I had a thick column of bubbles rising up and sticking to the cover of my collection cup, However there was no skimmate in cup.

I ran it in a bucket of 1 part distilled vinegar and 3 parts water to clean off any oils that I may have introduce into the tank. I also added carbon to my filter.

Help!
