I simply quoted where you suggested that 10x was the magic number, not one of these quotes was out of context, the very fact that you disagree with me confirms the fact that you subcribe to higher...

The slower the tank skims the more concentrated (read dirty) the water going to the sump is, the dirtier the water the more efficiently the skimmer functions.

I am suggesting that you have the sump turnover rate at the correct volume to get maximum results from the skimmer, typically this will be a lot less than the previously suggested 10x rate.

The 90 degree bend into the SCWD is robbing you of flow, maybe as much as 30%, the SCWD accounts for 20%

Who rates skimmers

Why are skimmers rated for system gallons rather than for bio-load? A 200 g system has little load compared to a fish only 100g
