Technical Data; Fault Finding - Deltec Skimmer 2000ix Instructions D'emploi

If the skimmer is used with new water on an aquarium it is common for find an excessive
quantity of small bubbles and often the skimmer cup fills with a clear liquid. This is due to
the high surface tension of the new water which prevents the bubbles from bursting. Once
the water matures this effect will go away but can take up to 2-3 weeks. The effect is
different on different salt brands and is often dependant on levels of conditioning agents
added to the salt. Once these are skimmed out then the skimmer will act normally.
Heavier feeding in the initial stages will give the chemically pure water something to react
with and allow it to mature into proper aquarium salt water rather than the initial chemical
soup which is new salt water.
