Default your skimmate

IMO - one cup of green tea skimmate every two days is perfect. I wouldn't change it.
Secondly drilling a hole in the cup and add in a section of hose into a jug is what most mid-grade to top-grade skimmers do. The trick is to drill carefully as to not crack the cup. There is a moment of exiting with the drill bit out the other side that is stressful on the acrylic unless you exit really slowly.
And also to find the proper fitting to drain is a bit of going to the hardware store and finding what you can get your hands on. If you are decent with tools, get a 1/4" john guest fitting and drill/tap the right size hole into the cup and screw the JG fitting into the cup.
