Wow Brad, thats pretty awesome to hear that that method actually works. I've heard a lot about people "planning" to do it but never heard any of the results. I'm glad it worked out for you (even though when I was there last I never really saw the scratches, hard to see them past the gorgeousness of the tank contents
 ).

Sounds like a pretty tedious process...how long did it take you?

It is mostly the same as doing a magnet cleaning of your tank...continuously for multiple hours!

Finally got my neck wet...
I finally got around to changing the skimmer wet-neck supply line from 1/4" to 3/8" and that seems to have done the trick.
Here's a quick explanation of the wet neck and a video showing it in operation. I tapped into a nearby return line.  The water is pushed into a chamber that surrounds the neck of the skimmer inside the collection cup. The water overflows the top edge of this chamber and flows down the inside of the skimmer neck.   I'm hoping that this keeps the skimmer neck a bit cleaner. Immediately, I can see that it creates a higher foam level even though the input water/air is the same as before.

Very cool. I did not realize that the foam would actually rise in the neck. But after thinking about it, it makes sense as there is less resistance as the foam climbs
