I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. What do you mean by skimmate? If it means what does the expelled stuff look like, then it is kind of a yellow/green color. I assume that is from the medication. It may take a while for the medication to be fully removed. It is sometimes more of a brown color. It is smelly, but not terrible so. I smell the medication in it.
We have gone through so many water additions. I am treating a sore shoulder right now because I lifted a 5 gallon water container and pulled something. I have to add about 2 gallons of water every few hours. We have been turning the skimmer off at night because it will run dry and we don't want to burn it out. The skimmer box has a place for 3 screws to hold in the pump and we only needed to use to, so there is one little hole where the water can still come in and I think that has saved us when we forget to either add water or turn it off. But this has become a full time job watching the water level and topping it off constantly.
