Skimmate

My skimmer was producing nice frothy and brownish skimmate for the last few days and suddenly the water level in the skimmer dropped and the froth cannot even rise... Does this mean that my tank lagi clean now ?!

Cleaning of skimmer is very important. My deltec mce 600 I bought 2nd hand and I forgot to clean it when I first used and week by week I got "clearer" and less smelly skimmate. Took out the skimmer last week and gave it a good wash. Within a week I got black gooey very smelly skimmate.

I have the same experience with my skimmer (SM 121). Sometime of the day it will foam well and sometimes no foam at all. The bubbles just burst prematurely. I leave it as it is as long as I get thick black skimmate at the end of the week. I have checked water parameters and they look ok. Have cleaned the skimmer regularly and it is still the same experience.
