chances are after a while it'll pull less gunk and then after a while every day you'll know exactly how much skimmate your going to have in the cup, I dont even look any more, I know I can go five days with out dumping the cup (providing nothing drastic happens) water changes and supplements can cause them to pull more stuff out. always keep an eye on your skimmer when stuff changes in your tank, especially if you use supplements.
Just as a side note 60 lbs of live rock isnt quite enough for a 75, you should be around 1 to 2 lbs per gallon. another 20 lbs wouldnt hurt, (except in the wallet of course) :thinking:
