Ok so just a few quick questions as this is my first skimmer.

1. Are skimmers in general meant to always have the foam at the top of the neck or just when there is something to skim? For example when you clean green algae off your glass.
2. Does it matter how deep in the water they sit or is it just a matter of adjusting them to your desired skim rate?
3. Is it better to see large/med bubbles coming out or small bubbles like a frothy foam?

Here are some pics ...

Ok so this is my first review of anything but i thought some of you may be interested in this brand of skimmer. As for what led me to this skimmer i would have to say looks played a part as it reminded me of the Bubble kings (way out of my price range) For some reason the blue and red drew me in. After my initial crush i did some checking and it was getting decent reviews and even being compared to Deltacs not that i can say this is true as again i am new to the hobby and this is my first skimmer. ...

Ok so it’s been a little over a month since my last update so I thought I would post an update on how things are going and to get some suggestions. First let’s start with some before and after photos.
