"If a person was running a skimmer on there system that was just able to keep up with removing the nutrients out of there reef or running at 100% efficiency without them knowing so, wouldn't the results of using this product do more harm than good?"


I believe your are asking:
"If your skimmer is already working at a maximum load, won't the product cause the skimmer to be over loaded?


No. Skimmer performance is based on contact time, bubble size and also the type of organic material you are trying to skim out. Bacteria cells have a very high affinity to the surface of a gas-liquid interface. So efficiency is improved when you are trying to skim out bacterial flock. You will notice that your skimmer is producing more skimmate when using this product.
