I thourghly wash out the collection cup and neck every 3 days, and still the same results. It neck and cup are clean but I'm not getting as mush skimmate.

I'm confused?! Are you worried about keeping nutrients low or producing skimmate?

I'm worried about keeping my nutrients low. I just figured that maybe there was a problem and the skimmer wasn't pulling right or something. So it's possible that it's working harder for a few day getting all the crap out then it slows down as there's less and less nutrients in the tank?
