| protein skimmer My protein skimmer doesn't collect anything. I have red sea Berlin 125. I run with a mag 7 which is what's recommended. I never have to empty it. what's wrong with it, I here people talking about their skimmers and they say they have to empty it every other day. :confused:

 Red sea Berlin's are known not to collect much skimate, but the fact that yours isn't collecting anything worries me. However you have a low to medium load on your tank. Are they microbubbles in the reaction chamber? If so are they small, medium sized, or large? |

 here is better pic of my skimmer. I think the micro bubbles are small. the air valve is open all the way and there are no other adjustments on this skimmer |
