My whole point is that if I'm just passing water through a sump at a rate higher than the filtration system can process it is just using more electricity than needed...
Not sure how that one is up for debate..

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding or not following frogmanx/ca1ore's points here..
I was never talking about making a skimmer less or more efficient.. At the rates we are discussing here the effect on the actual efficiency of the skimmer is so minimal its not even worth talking about..

But the electricity savings of running a sump at 2x vs 10x can be quite substantial..

I'm quickly seeing this post.. like the ones before it will really get nowhere.. so it was fun.. but thats it for me..
