Flow Through Skimmer??
 
I have a Recirculating Needle Wheel Skimmer (26" tall x 6" Diameter reaction chamber x GX-2400 Pump) that is directly plumbed off of one of my drain lines. Is tere a way to tell how much water is going through the skimmer? I would like to have about 200gph going through the skimmer (recomended by the maker). Thanks for any help!

measure the output of the skimmer in ounces per second with a measuring cup and then convert to gph.

......I should have thought of that. Thank you for the idea. BTW after checking my flow through the skimmer it was only 33.5GPH. Thanks again!!
