Would differing salinity change skimmer performance?
 

I know skimmers are pretty much useless in freshwater, and from test running mine in freshwater I noticed the bubble production is horrible compared to salt water.

I was wondering if keeping your salinity on the "high" side would improve skimmer performance at all? I noticed that many people prefer to have it on the higher side anyways.

I imagine that it probably wouldn't be much of a difference, but figured I would ask you smart people anyways.

Basically....Yes.

though don't think you'll notice much change in output from 1.025 to 1.026

Now if you could fool the water into being saltier then you would have skimmer manufacturers beating a path to your door.

I agree ... more salt will marginally improver performance however you would have to raise the level too high to see any noticable difference.

That being said , after raising the limit too high all your fish and coral will be dead so your skimmer should have lots of skimate in it ....

Haha, yeah that is what I kind of figured. Thanks everyone.
