Can some one post some pictures of their skimmer to give me an idea on where to have the bubbles break? This is all new to me and I just got my rock in the tank and started up the skimmer. I am running it with the riser pipe all the way down for right now. I bought this skimmer used, if that makes any difference.

I dont understand what you mean by where to have the bubbles break.
What type of skimmer is it? In the sump? in tank? hang on?
How about a pic of how you have it set up!

I just posted in your chronicle about this. I would shoot for the top of the bubble foam half way up the collection cup riser for starters. You can adjust from there for a wetter/drier skimmate when you get an idea of how this is going to work. Right now, what it looks like in the photo, is that the skimmate has quite a distance to travel before reaching the collection cup.
It's trial and error!
I have an RS80. The manual says to setup with the bubbles at 1" up from the bottom as a starting point. You need to adjust from there based on your preference of wet/dry skimate. I ran my at 1'' up for most of the last year and it is wet skimate that needs the cup emptied every 2-3 days. Lately I have been trying to make it run longer between needing to empty.
