    To me it looks like there is too much air going in and that's why you're wet skimming. Dial it down to where the bubbles are at the very bottom of the collection cup (where the cup meets the base). See how that works

    I agree. For what it's worth...my protein skimmer was tricky to tune and small adjustments and waiting seemed to do the trick. In my setup, the bubbles entering the collection cup are at a slow roll - if that makes sense. The "nog" ends up looking like real dark green tea. Just trying to help.
