I am just wondering if my skimmer is working to its fullest. I have an ASM G1x on my 80 gallon reef with a 20 gallon sump. Fish in the tank are a pair of clown fish, blue dot naso, pair of prawn gobies, 6 line wrasse, and a spotted cardinal. It has been two days since i have emptied the collection cup and i only have about a half inch of dark brown liquid. I have some chunky stuff at the top of my cup but i have seen some people's cups with really thick dark sludge. Is it just my skimmer or can i make it skim thicker? thank you

This link gives really, really good skimmer production advice. It has helped me a ton.

Try this link for some asm mods:

If you do a search for asm skimmer club, there is another thread with what people have done to their skimmers, and tips on getting the most out of it.

Hope this helps!
