Dry Foam??

Can somebody explain "dry foam" to me. I just finished cycling a 90g fowlr and purchased an Aqua C Remora Pro skimmer.
From what I've read about skimmers...they all need adjustment and the trick is to adjust them so you get a nice..."dry foam".
But what the heck is..."dry foam"?
My particular skimmer has an adjustment screw which regulates the height of the collection cup. I'm assuming that height needs to be regulated to achieve the maximum output. But as far as the desired consistency of the foam goes...I'm at a loss??

Dry foam is foam that kind of piles up without the bubbles popping for a long time. Wet foam the bubbles pop as soon as they come over the top causing very watery almost clear waste.
