Well my ebay Aqua-C Remora HOT with maxi-jet 1200 came today so I was pumped. I did my w/c early (ussually Sunday) so I could get it on and running. I did the ussual tank cleaning, algae scraping, little bit of sand moving, and rock cleaning and then refilled the tank. After that I moved my lr around and just put it in no order and just in a stable manor (going to actually aquascape when I get my epoxy and do my next w/c so dismis my terrible aquascaping 
)
anyway I just had a few questions that I think I am pretty safe and can assume I know the answer but might as well throw them up (and Im bored and it is fun to do while watching the Yankees.)
anyway here it is:
this is a picture of the front part of the remora right above and to the left of the water output back into the tank. Directly to the right of the intake (grey tube) you can see a plastic line and foam. The foam is leading up into the collection cup but as you can see (most noticablly on the left side) some bubbles are overflowing (where the flash is is the tube up into the collection cup.) CONTINUE TO SECOND PIC FOR QUESTION
This is the picture of the bubbles in the return. I know of the break in period with skimmers (they say bubbles can last a few days) I was just wondering if I should expect the same break since this had been running 3 months on a reef prior to me getting it. I figure they will but just wanted to see if this was a abnormal amount of bubbles (not neccessarily in the return but in picture 1 overflowing in the skimmer itself?) I am guessing once the foam is laden with waste it wont be overflowing as much?
this picture has no question just wanted to post this up to show how clear the inital skimmate was. Picture doesnt show it (was literally 5 min into operation) but I have seen some brown starting to show so already starting to clean up my tank...)
I just figured I post this up (as I said Im pretty bored and confined to my room due to grounding soooo...)
