How much skimmate does my skimmer skim, when my skimmer skims skimmate?

[Koddie Doo]

Why does my skimmer preform better at night than during the day?

When do you feed? Mine tends to start skimming more several hours after feeding.

Mine skims its heaviest a few hours after I vodka dose. Do you dose anything at night?

...there would be as much skimate as your skimmer can skim when you skimmer decides that it wants to skim skimmate.

My skims like a mad dog all the time, but after feeding it takes out more.

For me it is after lights out. Wonder if it is pH related.

Just food...

I am random on feeding, couple times through the night from 6-12

Because no one knows the chemical or physical structure of the material being skimmed, it is impossible to know why skimmate production varies during the day and from tank to tank. I have witnessed the night time increase in skimmate production.
