What happens if you clean the skimmer, run for 24 hours and look at the skimate again?

All in all, very cool though.
It's hard to say how long that skimmate has been down in the bottom of the collection cup. Haven't touched it since 9/11/2015.

I'll be getting a new skimmer soon hopefully and will test again with a week old skimmate from the collection cup.

However that neck foam would be common with all skimmers.
