    Skimming conversation

    I am by no means someone who knows a a lot about physics, but doesn't the creation of static electricity depend on the material? As far as a charge in water having any impact on skimming, I wouldn't discount that. Why wouldn't a bubble charge attract certain elements?

    How to Handle Opinions -- What is Yours

    I have posted this in the other thread before, but this one is more appropriate. Maybe someone can consolidate all the factors to be tested so we can come up with a list. We could then rate each skimmer on a scale (e.g. 1-5, with 1-poor and 5-Excellent) instead of a "black or white" decision...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    There has been a lot of good input so far. Maybe someone can consolidate all the factors to be tested so we can simply come up with a list. We could then rate each skimmer on a scale (e.g. 1-5, with 1-poor and 5-Excellent). This would make it easier to rate multiple things without considering...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Dave, my guess is that the power is rated at the max water throughput without air. With the addiditional venturi, the power draw is increased. But that's just a guess. You may be able to check it by pinching off the air and take a reading, then. Or, I don't know enough about electricity, but...

    Nice toy, Dave. Well I guess you are really going through with this....and I thought you put on this whole thing just to get a bunch of free skimmers for your system. :D

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Keep in mind, this is a fun thing.... We have had these discussions on how to compare two skimmers before. It's very hard, if not impossible, to say this skimmer compares to this one. How are you going to match them? Similar MSRP, or air intake, or size (bigger is better?), or power...

    Great to see this happen...thanks Dave and Madison (and everyone else who has been involved in THIS). Different board....same great crowd. Good to see everyone. :D
