    Ok so ive been running my skimmer for a while now, but only have a firefish goby in a 40gal breeder tank. I dont overfeed and my water is pretty clean. Should i still be getting skimmate or not? Im not getting any as of now but was thinking its because my water is really clean.

    If there is nothing to remove, there will be no skimmate.
