I can't coment on FOWLR but when I feed silversides to my reef and anemone tanks.The skimmers skim wet or overflow depending on how much I feed.
As for tips on adjusting the skimmers,I use the gate valve mod for the euro reef.Make fine adjustments easy and you don't get the noise from the water running down the sponge.

Yes. When I feed the Silversides the skimmer skims wetter than wet. In other words, the skimmer always skims wet. So, I'm thinking it's the amount (like daily) of the Silversides that causes this all the time.
As for the gate valves...I have them too. I get that these control the height of the skimmate, not the quality. Am I missing something there? Thanx much,

Ok see what you're asking now.I wonder maybe if its the mucus from the corals making the reef skimmate thicker.Or is your FOWLR supper clean and nothing to skim

Thanx for the input. Maybe that the corals cause the Reef to skim dryer. Makes sense. I should have mentioned, too, that the FOWLR skimmate is a greenish colour whereas the Reef skimmate is a dark brown. Not a big deal. It just means that the FOWLR skimmer collection cup fills up faster, thus requiring more frequent emptying. I can live with it. Just thought others might have the same experiences like this.
Cheers,
