Wet Vs, Dry Foam

I think what the original poster (and me after now reading this) was
really after, was how you set the skimmer up to produce a dry foam
rather than a wet foam... as i get this watery collection in the cup
rather than the thick gloupy stuff I see in other skimmers. Is it all
down to the water level in the riser column or the amount of organics
in your water?

Thanks.
Chris.

Adjust the skimmer to produce oits column of bubbles lower n the
reactor tube for a drier skim and higher up in the column for wetter
skim....
The wetter the skim they say the more junk is taken out overall but it
also increases the need to add more top off water. I prefer a drier
skim myself which is usually a much more darker mass.

The original frugal ponder! Koi-ahoi mates....

Most skimmers, you adjust the amount of air going in. Some
skimmers, you can adjust the hight of the colum so that
the foam has to rise higher.
