    Update!!

    Skimmer is working great. Here's a shot of the cup with about 2 wks of skim-mate. it doesn't look like much in the pic but that's b/c i used a 12 cup (0.75 g) bowl as the cup. It's a lot. ;D

    You can see the thick sludge on the bottom in this shot.

    Thanks k+. It really is disturbing to think all that stuff would have been left in the water without a skimmer.

    Definitely, it would have been really disappointing if it didn't work, after all the time and effort.
