I have an old Reef Octopus NW150 skimmer (bought some years ago, but never been used). I am using this skimmer in a new tank setup, only running for 3 months. The issue is that the skimmate does not go into the collection cup. Most of the skimmate (wet) seems to be collected at the top of the black ring. I keep the water level at the neck of the black ring. I am unsure if this is because my tank is still new or the skimmer is setup incorrectly. The bio-load is light (only two clown fish and some softies) on a 100 gallon tank.

Anyone have experience with this skimmer?
