Best I could do is tea colored like yours. Even a prism or bak-pak skimmer pulls more out of the water. I've even had J&l check it out, and that's the way it's supposed to work. My Vertex in my reef pulls thick mud and I know it's doing it's job.
I don't know how people rate this skimmer as one of the best hob skimmers.

The skimmer has been on the tank since the weekend, so about 3 days, and that was about 6hrs of skimate - just started tweeking it.

Your skim colour will change based on what you feed.

Okay, I'll bite - Do you mean dry, frozen, live, manufacturer, or all the above?

from my past experiance with them they work fine. For the price they are awesome. There is better out there but you will have to pay for it.

I wish $ wasn't an object, then I would have a bigger tank(s), bigger fish, bigger skimmer, bigger house ...
