Well, All I can say is that I put mine in at the end of October of this year and just now am I seeing some progress in making skimmate. I have to keep in mind that the bioload is extreamly low with being a new setup. I have found that (thanks to Steveohh) the skimmer works a lot better with NO overflows when I adjusted the sump water up to cover above the reaction chamber intake.

I'm starting to now see some brown skimmate, but not quite enough to make the cup. I will let be for now.
