Followup skimmer question

[JMorris271]

I had posed some questions in another thread earlier and I wanted to ask a few more since I have done what was suggested
I am getting a very thick layer of skim mate inside the neck, the cap is saturated and on top of the cone just before the neck about 2 inches or so. I cannot get higher than this so the skim will spill over into the cup.
Here are some shots of what I have going on.

I am usually just seeing this foam. It is sort of erratic. I had just cleaned the body so thats why there is nothing on the top of the cone

What can I do to get this crapola to spill in the cup. If I crack the valve I get the swell of water.

Thanks again

Welcome to a skimmer..
They require routine maintenance such as neck cleaning,etc.. from time to time..
Nothing you can really do there..

Yeah skimmers can be very finicky. I removed mine about a year ago I was totally fed up with it.

I have the same skimmer (I think) mines a 110INT. I found it works the best if the water just spills over when you take the collection cup off. turn the valve in 1/4 turn increments and walk away for 5 minutes. then adjust again if needed. by the look of it you're almost there just a little higher.

If you are all out of adjustment room, then increase the water level in that portion of the sump.
