How's your skimmate?

On the 90 gal. I have the BM set fairly wet; skimmate is the colour of tea with a greenish tinge. I have to empty the cup more often but it keeps the neck cleaner longer.
On the 225 gal. I have the Beckett skimmer set even wetter. Colour is more green and the smell is not as strong.
The two tanks have quite different bio-loads though. The 90 has more SPS and smaller fishes, whereas the 225 has more softies and LPS with more large fishes.
