    Hey just wanted to post a picture of the skimmate that this very cheap skimmer produced. it's been running only 10 days. i was honestly ready for a dissapointment but i think it works great with a minor modification. what do you guys think? i empty it daily..

    Way too watery. Skimmate at its thinnest should look more like black coffee. Try to lower the water level or raise the air if possible.
