Ok so new to skimmers, have a Vertex Omega 130 and actually have it skimming on my first attempt with little to no idea of what I'm doing. However it appears to be skimming what I have heard referred to as "wet" and want to understand how to tune it perform better. It appears the bubbles are large and not very refined so thinking it's the nozzle adjustment on the pump but any pointers would be appreciated!

That actually looks normal for high DOC water.
