Is there an optimum sump water level for the medium skimmer?

I installed my skimmer yesterday afternoon and had a thin layer of dark skimmate this morning.

Chromis seem to "unschool" when they get used to your tank. I've had good luck with glass cardinals (the ones with bit of purple on their eye area)....they've stayed in school formation in my tank.

Well, my purple/pink coralline algae did extremely well and even grew some despite having the lights off, so I think it's still possible it is algae.
