    Finally! I've had this skimmer for about 2 months, and now it's finally collecting decent skimmate! i'm thinking that there probably wasn't much to collect, but looking at it tonight, skimmate is fiannly building up and the collor is getting darker, it could be darker, but i'm happy :D So nice to see this thing working properly!

    I can always tell when my skimmer had a good night, I can smell the skimmate before I open the closet door (it's just a louvered bi-fold door)
    means its time to dump the cup and clean the neck of the skimmer :):sick::dizzy2:
