Sounds like you are on the right track. The slowed skimmate production is a sign that the skimmer caught up with the DOC's in your tank. Lowering it will help to give you better control via the wedge so you can wetten it up more without having to close the pipe too much. At the same time, wettening it up a bit will result in more skimmate production.
