Default Adjusting an Aqua C Remora

Hi all,

I have an Aqua-C Remora that has really slowed down it's skimmate production over the last two weeks, ever since I took it apart and cleaned it. I bought it used, so I don't have the instruction manual, meaning I do have questions!

How do I adjust the skimmer (from skimming "wetter" or "drier"). I see that there's a white plastic screw on top of the intake tube inside the skimmer. I'd rather not fiddle with until I know which direction adjusts the skimming one way or the other, especially if someone here already knows. Also how much do you normally adjust it? 1/4 turn? 1/2 turn...etc?

Thanks so much!

It could be it has to break in again, what did u use to clean it with? Ive owned the remora and remora pro, i know the screw u talk about but i never messed with it. I cant remember what it was for but the only adjustment i ever made on either of mine was raising or lowering the collection cup.
