Default Nothing to Skim

Just wondering if this situation is normal or if I don't have my skimmer dailed in properly. The thing is that I never really get anything to skim. Even after leaving the skimmer off for multiple days, upon turning it I get negligible amounts of skimmate. Maybe it has to do with the low stocking but just want to make sure.
Here is my setup:

Tank: 90g + 20g sump, Seio 820, ~300gph flow through sump
Livestock: ~75lbs of LR, 2 true percs (3" female, 2" male), 3.5" benggai cardinal, 2" bicolour blenny, 3.5" yellowheaded sleeper goby, 3.5" burrfish, 2 peppermint shrimp
Filtration: PM bullet 3 skimmer, about 5g of chaeto
