Did you get that ball valve yet? If you did you could adjust it to skimming real dry and get nothing but foam in the collection cup.

ive had it for about a week and im getting a lot of light green water so i opened the valve a bit more so there werent as many bubbles comming into the collection cup was that the right thing to do or should i have just left it alone

Yep, thats what you do to get it to skim dryer. If you look at my skimmate and where the bubble break is, thats a good way to judge it. Here's where i keep my water level. about halfway up the b in the bermuda sticker.

The one i'm using is over 900gph. Is the clear wheel all the way open so the water is as low as it goes in the skimmer reaction chamber? And fwiw it took a good month for my skimmer to break in as it wasn't this low until the last week or so.

I got water that was dirty when i started, then got light brown tea and now what you see is what you get. I don't know if it will get darker than it is now for me, but may.
