    OK I have a tunze 9002 and my tank has been up and running for almost 2 months now. At first my skimmer was producing some funky skimmate and now its just producing somewhat of a clear to white foam. I have a small bio load consisting of just a true perc clown fish and a yellow tail damsel and 20g cuc from reef cleaners. I only feed 2-3 times per week. I'm guessing this is the reason I'm not getting the smelly brown skimmate anymore.

    Probably nothing there for it to skim as you have mentioned.

    What size is your tank? 20g (based on CUC reference)?
