You skimmate is more concentrated than those others you've seen. Whether this means it is because you have a more efficient skimmer or because you simply have "more stuff to skim" I can't say, but, you say your water is nice and clear that tells me it's more likely that you simply have a better setup going as far as your skimmer is concerned. It's doing its job. HTH

Crazy, ain't it? Sounds like your skimmer is working well though. Are you cleaning it often? Once a week is a good marker.
