Octopus NW150 question

Anybody using one? Mine takes a while to fill the collection cup on my 90 and I wonder if it is normal.

My tank was an upgrade so it is still establishing but I would still think it would fill faster.

For fish I have

1X YT
2X O Clowns
2X Firefish
1X Algae Blenny
1XScooter Blenny
1X Royal Gramma
 
I'm using an Octopus NW150, and on a 90g tank. Below is a picture of the crap it pulls out after a couple days. In my tank I have:

1 3" blue tang
1 3" coral beauty
1 pair oscellaris clownfish
1 1" yellowtail damsel
1 3" blackcap basslet
2 baseball sized urchins, 2 cleaner shrimp, 60 or so snails

Mine pulls out crap like that as well but it has a big collection cup and that will not get filled for a while. That is what I was wondering.
 
My collection cup never comes close to getting full. I try to clean mine at least every 3 days. It doesn't skim as much if I leave it for longer.
 
Ok, thank you. I just wanted to make sure. Mine pulls out a ton of sludge but it does not fill.
