I think your fine.Few things.

Mesh wheels do wear out fairly fast. It's why most manufactures do not use them. Pinwheel's, although not as good at chopping the bubbles, last a heck of alot longer.

The skimmate production will vary. You may well be at equilibrium with what your tank produces and what your skimmer is taking out. You really can not have to large of a skimmer. A larger skimmer will just seem like it doesnt skim as much, as it is acctually pulling more out, and when there is no gunk to pullout, theres no gunk. A undersized skimmer will acctually pull lots,all the time, as it can not keep up and there is allways gunk in the tank to pull out.
