Skimmin...

Well, some days/weeks I get nothing, others I get a few inches in the cup over a few days. Depends on water changes, foods, feeding fequency, coral sloughing, sand bed disturbance, etc. You should probably never get a "standard" amount of skimmate.

I agree that you shouldnt expect a 'standard' amount, but it can be a good indicater something "might" be wrong. Like it might be time to pull the skimmer apart and clean it.

Absolutely. If it fills up with black gunk too quickly, something likely died!!
