i bought the same skimmer i had on my last tank and cant seem to get the foam to go up the last chamber. its a seaclone and im well aware of how to tune it, but this time its been 3 days and cant get a foam head. its a new tank that had old dead algae and a piece of shrimp to cycle it. 4 weeks later i added a tiny clown pair to get the ball rolling. i didnt change the water thinking the skimmer would be working by now.i used tap and conditioner on this tank and feel like it has affected it some how. i get about an inch then down to half inch as the foam pulsates. any thoughts??? thanks in advance
