Skimmer and Return question

I have a mag 7 coming through my return with 3/4" tubing and it is a 72 gallon bow front reef ready. It came with a "Y" directional nozzle lifelock but it looks like it is shooting some air with it, kind of snowy? It that just misc. stuff floating around and it just looks like it's coming out the nozzle since I just transferred tanks yesterday?

Also, my skimmer isn't really producing bubbles, the skimmer has been running about 10-12 days and there is residue in the cone in the top cap. Am I doing something wrong?

Is the plumbing new for the return line? Did you glue the connections?

For the skimmer, what kind is it?
