This all begs the question: Can you derail a thread with no aim or defined purpose?

Yeah, sorry Atomikk. On the other hand, there isn't really a thread going yet. It says: "Stay Tuned".

No worries.. we can chat about anything you want here... skimmers, corals, frags.. etc.. Have you guys read my posts on MACNA XXI in Atlantic City, NJ?

I did look through your photos...looks like fun!

That massive skimmer from MRC I think was made for someone off RC...Nanook maybe I can't seem to recall.

Yeah it was a custom build. Speaking of skimmers, we sat in a talk about TOC (total organic carbon) and skimmers, and quite frankly... the skimmer sales people were not too impressed that the speaker shot down a lot of their claims. Lets just say, bigger is not always better.

I wish I had recorded it for everyone.

Did he/she go on at length about how much better red pvc is within the confines of skimmer technology?

Hahaha. The summary of this topic was that all skimmers eventually flatten out in their performance. Some do it quicker than others. Even with massive skimmers, you will have to do water changes to remove the rest of the TOC.
