Skimmate maybe to wet

[ducati1212]

I just read the other skimmer question and mine is not to far off. I am getting very wet skim? Is that good bad neither?

Should I adjust the skimmer? Its a fairly new tank around 6 weeks ish with maybe 6 fish. reefer 350 75 gallons.

Yeah, way to wet. It’s not good, strips nutrients, throws off your salinity, dial it back.

There are 2 adjustments. air and water I am assuming I dial back the water and turn air up?

Yea. Less water more air. You want it so the bubbles start foaming where the neck and cup meet. It’s normal for it to not collect anything the first day or two after you tune it down.
