AquaC Urchin is still skimming too wet

I put a aquac urchin in my sump about two months ago and with the cup all the way up it still fills up a gallon jug in 24 hr period. I figured it would slow down as it broke in but it hasnt. I therefore have to add more water/salt mix to replace the skim than I do straight top off water.
