Red Sea Max Owners

[nats]

Glad to hear it was just a mix up with the boxes. Good thing you asked. If it had been me I would still be trying to put it together. While we are the subject of the redsea max. Can anyone tell me if my skimmer is working. I have 35lbs of live rock in the display, I took out the carbon and ceramic bags from the chamber and the white sponge. I find that the bubbles are not travelling up the skimmer neck, thus no skim goo. I turned the air valve to 3/4 open. My water has lots of bits floating around. Any suggestions
thanks
