It would actually take longer to run a accurate test ... for starters you cant run 3 of them at the same time as Tony has already stated
next you would have to leave the system skimmer-less for the same amount of time in between testing skimmers ( say 2 weeks ) and make sure that the exact same amount of food/light etc was affecting each test ... then test each skimmer individually ... also some skimmers take longer to " dial-in " and require specific pumps to operate at optimum efficiency
Then they would have to setup proper tests before, during & after the experiment so that you can have a quantitative analysis of the results.
There is probably more that could be done to make it fair but that is all I can think of this late at night
The " test " as it stands is a joke and not worthy of merit or consideration other than for the enjoyment of those doing it and the throngs of RC back clappers.
