Thats what i was thinking.. so is it going to make the difference if it is out of the water?

yep - it changes the back-pressure within the unit

I think the new skimmer is need to take about a couple days to break in.

Well i raised it above the water and nothing, and i also ran it outside of the sump and i didnt get anything either.

Cant be, tank was just set up always something to skim.

If it was just set up I doubt there is much to skim , whats your Bio load heavy ? what are you feeding a lot of things can affect skimming if it's pumping and water is getting into the collection cup I would think you just don't have enough undissolved proteins that need to be skimmed .

well its all transfered water with used rock and sand, but the issue is i have a mag 5 pump on I am going out to grab a mag 9 now..
