Adjustment need to be made in a tank by tank basis. It can fluctuate greatly by how heavily you are stocked, water parameters, etc.....even what you feed. I have my skimmer on a timer to shut off for 3 hours daily during feeding time. Zooplankton, Marine snow, rotifers etc can increase production on the skimmer.
