I think you're suppose to leave the skimmer off for a couple of hours after adding the bacterial powder. I take it you are following the TBS instructions. You're a good tank mommy! Can't wait to see this one develope.

I did not turn on my skimmer until the next day.
It is a tunze 9005 and it wasnt creating any foam.
I knew it can take a few days for a new skimmer to break in but after 3 days it was not working. So I did a bad thing. I went to the tunze forum on another site. Sorry RS but I was desperate. Anyway the Tunze Dude told me what was wrong and I was able to fix it. @ minutes later I had a skimmer that foams. Yeah!
I am a good tank DAddy (not mommy) and will do whatever it takes for the well being of my tanks -
even go to RC
Ammonia reading ealier today were:
elos test - .5
Intant Ocean test .8 - its highest reading.
So I did a 25% water change.
I dont really trust either of these ammonia tests
is IO reading high or is elos reading low or what?
Any ideas on ammonia testing?
