It's not as crazy as you think. First, these skimmers are very efficient when it comes to removing DOC's. To put it in perspective. At 27 watts, you're pushing nearly 400GPH through the skimmer. That means you are running your systems entire water volume through the skimmer roughly 16 times per 24 hours. This is figuring a total water volume of about 260 gallons. In 7 days, you would have run your entire systems volume through the skimmer over 112 times.
