I bought a visi-jet 100 protein skimmer about a week ago... I bought it because I got it cheap... but now that i have it running in my tank its not bubbling or anything... Am I doing something wrong or is this thing just junk...?

Do you know if this is a counter flow, or a venturi style? Counter flow needs an air pump and a wood air defuser. Venturi type get the air from the pump, there should be a hose and a regulator connected near the intake of the pump. The would need to be adjusted.
