So update on my skimmer without messing with it 3 days... Cup filled up about 1/4 of little the darker tea liquid... skimmer neck was dirty as heck, but again when that happens the water level rises passed midway up the tube and begins to overflow. I just dumped and cleaned the skimmer cup. Had to adjust the water level back down.

I shut it off to add some mysis and stuff... so i'd figured i'd clean it as it was nearly water over the top and not foam. It seems to skim best clean as well. So I adjust the water level below the red line and foam just at the red line.

 

It's going good, been a lazy weekend... Re scaped my office/tank room xD

 

How about yourself

So here's shortly after cleaning the skimmer cup.. I get best skimmate production with a clean neck. Not sure if it's different for each tank/skimmer... I don't get super dark skim; im ok with that. Wetter skim = more nutrient export correct? Or am I tripping?

Yes,I think if you run it wet it does better at removing phosphate I believe. It's strange mine can be dirty or Clean and I typically get equal results across the board, unless it's directly after then it takes half a day or so to readjust.

Yea I have no clue, i'm stumped... Dirty...water level rises. Frustrating to say the least.

Yea lol I'm frustrated for you at this point also.
