How often do you empty your skimmer?

I've never had to empty my skimmer much and I am curious if it is working as good as it should. I have to empty maybe 1/10th of a cup every couple of of weeks. The only time it has really filled up was when I added more LS. I've played with the air adjustment, but I haven't seen any changes in skimming. I have a Red Sea Berlin Classic. So, how often do you/should I be emptying?

I have to empty mine depending on where it is set every couple to maybe 3 days and it is very close to full it doesn't sound like your skimmer is doing much if that is all it is taking out. You should be able to adjust it to skim more and i would recommend that.

To adjust it to skim more, I assume I should add more air?

yeah let those bubbles come up more if you want to wet skim. I wet skim and empty every 2-3 days.
