regarding JEBO protein skimmer

[stonefish]

ang display tank ko is 170g and sump tank ko 75g. ask ko lang yung protein skimmer ko. 3 days na siya operate until now wala pa din bula na lumalabas. kaka set up ko lang ng aquarium nung sunday. live rocks and water palang nalagay ko dun and 4 na trial fish. naka open naman yung pag labas ng tubig sa skimmer and hangang neck lang yung tubig na umiikot sa loob ng skimmer. ask ko lang kung matagal ba talaga bubula at kukuha nung dumi. thanks

if you had just setup your tank last sunday and your have 4 "trial fish", you didn't properly cycle your tank.. all skimmers take time to "break-in" and eventually not produce any skimmate for several days.. also, your tank is quite new so you pretty much still have clean water

Good morning, yes kakalagay ng water, sand and live rocks nung sunday afternoon... Im using jebo 520 protein skimmer.... Bali naglagay lang din ako nung sunday din ng 6 na trial fish nung monday namatay yung 2. As of now yung 4 survive padin sila. Kala ko kasi mga after 3 days bubula na kagad ng dumi yung skimmer. Im worried kasi naka properly set up naman siya. Im planning nga dapat today i balik yung skimmer sa cartimar.

I suggest you start reading up first on setting up a tank (setup, cycling, livestock information, etc) rather than the quick-setup that, as you have already seen, killed two fish and probably stressing the remaining four.

Go slowly, be armed with more knowledge... you'll enjoy this hobby more that way. Read internet sites, buy books if you can, and don't be afraid to ask questions in this forum.
