Default skimmate

adjust the foam till the part where the cup tapers narrower or jsu slightly below it.Then let the skimmer do the rest, enuf foam or stuff to skim it will flow by itself.It takes time to let the bubbbles react and see dark skimmate.

IF you adjust below the wavy line , THAT IS THE WATER int the tank suppose to be below that level when hang. you can wait till long2.... the foam will not reach the top... mayb can gif it a try...heheeh
