• Is the pen not working well?

I don't understand... The skimmer is a Deltec 1060. A powerful device. The aquarium is 600 liters. While there were soft corals, LPS, SPS, and fish in the system, it produced a full cup in a week. Now, with 50 kg of live rock and fish - a couple of medium-sized surgeonfish, a small butterfly fish, a juvenile angel, a butterfly, and about 5 small fish of various kinds. I feed twice a day with dry food, and the butterfly fish twice a week. The skimmer seems to foam well, and I have cleaned the pumps and the body, but it produces very little - at most 50-80 grams a week. Raising or lowering the cup doesn't help. Is this normal for such a load?

Don't worry about it. It's supposed to be that way. There's no load at all.
