Arrow This is what skimmate should look like!

Protein Skimmers

You should! It's best for efficiency if you do clean the whole cup and neck.

The first picture here is what we collected in 3 days on one of our lightly stocked reef systems. The rest of the pictures are typical of what we collect daily.

good point however if the skimmer is under rated it will definitely pull dark green skim mate
