new skimmer !!

Ray,you will probably get a different answer from everyone.Some people empty it every few days while others will go a week or more.Your bio-load,feeding and how you run the skimmer-some people prefer a dry foam(less skimmate but much darker goop)and others wet(more skimmate but not as dark).I empty mine every 1.5-2 weeks(dry skimmate).Then again my collection cup holds nearly half a gallon.
 
I Am Trying To keep It As Dry As I Can. The Bubbles Hardly Go Up The Tube. What Is In There Looks To Be More From The Condensation Then The Bubbles. But It Is Dark Brown.
 
Looks like its doing its job.
Welcome to the world of stinking up the house when the gotta be emptied.
