if you skimmer is new, it's likely pulling out a lot of material, and causing the light yellow water, rather than something darker.

If this doesn't settle down after a few days, or the skimmer has been in use awhile, then you will need to adjust your skimmer to produce a dryer foam.
Wouldn't the water just go back into the reaction chamber and concentrate the particule to a denser matter to extrac , in other words recirculating the water and make it worth emptying the cup ??
