Crazier than most Reefers
Re-designing a skimmer and tweaking them took all my math skills, so I made a calculator to engineer one properly from the start, note the dwell time of a bubble is in liquefaction, air water mixture, not timed in the foam area, although a bubble may rise correctly under 120 seconds, It is only Past this bench Mark that you will be able to adhere all organics, and successfully remove them from your systems. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, No this isn't a simple calc... but skimming isn't a simple process either, just one of the most efficient! you will notice that some of the designs of commercial skimmers falls vary short of even creating foam, this is the dwell time issue. the amount if time the water passes through the skimmer dose little to improve the removal of organics, remember there is more than one, its sort of like eating, you dip your spoon in in your bowl, but just prior you spill it on your lap, and each bit is repeated, you may have tasted the soup, but your still vary hungry, but with a still hand you can have a spoon filled to the brim each time..... this is proper skimming!.... enjoy the calc and let me know if you find any bugs, and how your skimmer measures up!
