65 gal tank Tank is about old. After a 3 week cycle. The first week or two it produced about a 1/3 of the collection cup. As of right now their isn't much of anything in the cup. Very little since my Sunday water change. I see the fine bubbles coming up very slowly but not really overflowing. My question could their just not be much to skim out of the water? I only have 2 clown fish, cleaner shrimp, few snails and hermits. About 60lbs of dry rock (at the time) and took a few pcs from my nano cube and put it in their. 20 gal or so sump. Feeding is about once a day, twice a day on weekends.

The skimmer is working correctly. Which model do you have or what size is it?

Pretty sure it's the rs 135 bought it used, we'll come with the tank. But from online pics looks like the one. Has a sedra 3500 pump I put in a new impeller.

Skimmers work better with a bio load, if it is not there they "slow down" on production.

The sedra 3500 went on the 80 and 100 skimmers.
