I have been using Prime and that is what people are telling me is screwing up my skimmer.....I am so confused and frustrated that I can't get this thing to work properly.

Not sure what is making your skimmer behave the way it is, just to recap, you've adjusted air up and down? Water flow up and down? One thing you may want to try is to restrict the amount of water flowing into the chamber, don't restrict the intake on the pump but restrict the output between the pump and the skimmer chamber. I've probably not worded that right but maybe you'll get the idea.

OK so I think I have the collection cup bubbles under control by adjusting my air to 2 o'clock and running carbon although now the return pipe with the degassing plate is causing major bubbles to be released into the tank???? My water in the tank isn't clear at all it is juat all bubbly.

So as for why you seem to have it covered. Now here is the mod I did to my tuboflotor 1000, and the same to the deltec this is for the rare time I've use chemi pure and instead of on the floor it goes in a bucket. Just cut the overflow tube and what you don't see is the 90 elbow I add and extra hose. I also have to plug the little hole on the top. I keep the bucket under the unit with some towel strategically placed. Hope this helps ( It's better than standing there)

Does it always foam into the collection cup or does it sometimes go right down???

Do you mean ? The foam, your asking if it is always foaming? No it will stop for small amounts of time. When I have an additive (chemi clean) it goes nuts for about three days none stop big bubbles I'd have to dump the cup every min or two. That would be why I modded the unit, I actually add the turbofloater 1000 and run both. Does that answer your question?

Well I have the air full at 12 o'clock and my cup is far down and there is no foaming action in the cup????? That seems not right to me because my previous skimmers foamed all the time. Also when it was foaming the foam was never brown looking it was just a clear foam???

Does the degassing plate do its job? Mine came without one and we are thinking of building it. I seen a thread where some said they just removed them? Or perhaps just using a couple 90 degree elbows?
