[Jaws]

For me I think the color and thickness of the skimmate has to do with the water level in my skimmer. When I only had one pump running at one time and the water level in the skimmer would fill the reaction chamber, there was a nice thick foam that formed on the top. The fact that the color is weaker only makes me think that given a longer skimmer neck the foam would be thicker but that still doesn't mean that it's not pulling out the same amount of crud with wetter foam. It just overflows sooner and doesn't have a chance to form that thick foam. I can't see this being a downfall but I could be wrong.
