If you want to remove more phosphate and nitrate skim wetter (yellower). Dry skimmate generally produces a lot of baby 4hit in the neck of the skimmer whereas wet skimmate gets it into the collection cup. The dry stuff in the neck continues to contact the water column and hasn't been effectively removed.
