Default Rate your skimmer

Hello,

1) Thanks for the priase by Stephane.

2) There are many designs out there as a result of different considerations during the design process. The Aerofoamer's swirl design is indeed nice and is relatively easy to build, compared to the Canreef CS-2. However, I chose the existing CS-2 design for primarily 2 reasons:
1) extremely little bubble is returned
2) a fair play of counter current action is involved directly under the riser column
3) injector housing is cemented onto the skimmer housing, forcing it to have the largest skimmer box when compared to a Bullet 3, Aqua C EV-250, ETSS 800, etc.

Yes when I look at the price of the ETSS, and Aerofoamer units, I think I ought to price the CS-2 higher.
