Skimate colour

[whatcaneyedo]

Here is about 1 week of collection from my Urchin Pro which is on a 30gal system with a yellow watchman goby and a green coral goby (two small fish thats it). I probably have it sitting too high but when it was lower it would often fill up with really watery skimmate right away.

What colour are the bubbles as thy come up/exit the riser tube?

Mine seem mainly clear/white.

The upper bubbles in my are pretty white too. But as I was pointing out, the skimmer is really overkill for the system its on. The only time I get slightly brown or green bubbles is from the beckett skimmer on my main system right after I clean the glass or do something else that adds a lot of waste to the water column.
