Did you run it in FW first to get rid of any production oils?

How deep do you have the skimmer in your water? - 9" is ideal.

Is the water level in your sump consistent? - varying water levels will affect the foam head.

Lastly, skimmer can take a week or more to completely break in.

I still feed mysis, It just takes about an hour for my skimmer to start skimming again.
A constant water level is a must though, maybe get an auto top off or something if you can't change the baffles
