Reef 100 Skimmer

I'd say my mine issue with it is it will sometimes fill up the whole cup with very light skimmate, almost as if it overfilled with saltwater. I haven't been able to figure out why this happens. I'll clean the cup out, and for a few days I'll see it gathering some nice dark skimmate, then I'll check a day later and it's completely full with skimmate that isn't very dark.

The only things I can think of are something being added to the water causing it to foam up like a certain food or additive, and to check the pump impeller for debris. Perhaps @IOAOI can help with tips too. Hope it gets figured out for you.
