New Skimmer No Bubbles

Just installed a new RO extreme 160 and am 90% sure I installed it correctly (directions suck). I have the water level adjusted to the base of the neck but it isn't producing any bubbles. Does it just need to break in or do I have something hooked up wrong?

Do you see any bubbles in the water inside the main chamber of yor skimmer? Even if it is just a break in thing you should see bubbles in the body itself otherwise there is something wrong.
Pics?

If no bubbles anywhere you have a closed/not connected air intake
