Question?
Wet or dry???
I do not know of a set lvl of it a day.
I run my skimmers dry and when thay need to be cleaned/full I clean???

it depends. if its producing nasty brown/green skimmate, you want it to remove as much as possible, but if its constantly pulling clear or very light skimmate, then thats too much.

 

[tdog7879]

should it produce a half a cup a day ............more or less ,in a day or days?

there is no set level it depends on your brand of skimmer, the water level in your skimmer, bioload, even your salinity can effect performance. As long as you are pulling dark skimmate and your water parameters are good you should be fine.
