skimmer question

[danny zubot]

In my experience with skimmers they don't always skim consistantly. At various times of the day mine will not skim much at all, while at other it skims a ton. Maybe my skimmer is messed up.

Get yours running wet (lighter colored skimmate) consistantly first, then adjust to a dryer skimmate if you want. When I used to run a seaclone I would try to get the chamber as "white" with bubbles as I could. But remember that if you put your hands in the water the oils from your hands will inhibit the skimmer from producing foam.
