skimmer not skimming

[rusty shackleford]

just added a sump, just wondering if there would be some chemicals leaching from the silicone causeing my skimmer to not produce any foam

skimmer was working fine as a hang on skimmer

thanks

I don't know about the silicone
How long has the skimmer been running on the new sump ?
Maybe the extra volume of the sump has diluted your system's nutrients ?
Have you used any epoxy since the sump addition ?

skimmer been running for pretty much 24 hours on the sump.
was running good as a hang on so i dont think it could another "break in"
unless having it not set up and dryed out for a couple weeks could have some effect on it
