Well you have to adjust the white screw (quarter or dime works) until you get a small amount of water arching out and back down into the skimmer.
From there its all about the skimmer cup and the rubber o-ring.
Adjust it up for less water and down for more.
FYI-Mine skims wet, [violation]

2 things
1. that was awsome, lol
2. in relation to the white screw, the more I open it the higher the water level will be on the inside of the skimmer? then I just make the water level to just about to where it drops in the skimmer, then play with the rubber ring?
does this sound correct?

What I did with mine was take out the white screw and screw it back in about 1-2 turns, that should prevent water from coming out. Then I adjusted the o-ring so that the bottom of the reaction chamber is about 1/4" above the water. Then tilt it slightly on the exit side so more bubbles reach the reaction chamber.

I emailed AquaC and they sent me a new one.

Do you find you get more skimmate this way? Does it Skim wet in comparison to others? Perhaps a tip from the 12 year master?

Actually I get what I would call "good quality foam"...lemme find a picture...
The reason the bubbles are on one side is because there's actually so much air coming out of the skimmer that it pushes the foam that way. Many times I will have foam coming out of the hole in the cap, even though the cup is barely 1/2 full.
I have to empty the cup out once every 4-5 days, but I think that's about right for a 20g tank. The quality is definitely what I think skimmers should produce though, something I couldn't acheive w/ a BakPak or Turboflotor
