Looking to upgrade collection cup for coralife biocube protein skimmer. Any suggestions?

Do Biocube skimmers have a drain? Something along the lines of an Avast Locker would be my go to for increase skimmate holding capacity

They don't have a drain. It's a small cup that fills up quickly though. Wanted too see if there's a bigger cup that will fit

Tune to not skim as wet? Should be dark brown almost black in the cup. I don't have the same skimmer but it takes almost a week between cleaning.

I don't know of any off the shelf product, but looking at that skimmer....I bet you could add a small drain line that you could run to a container pretty easily.

Running it as dry as possible. Thick foam pushes the top off everyday. Just wanted to see if a bigger cup was possible

Probably be best trying to put a small bulkhead on the cup and collect the skimmate. You'll want some kind of failsafe incase your skimmer goes nuts though
