JCTewks (I think) added an 18" extension onto his Octo skimmer at one point, but he ended up taking it off. He has been posting in the evenings so maybe he will respond to that question for you.

That's what I have thought as far as the wattage goes, but I have heard people say that boring out the elbow increases flow, air input, and wattage. It would seem to me that since there is less...

No, I haven't bored out the elbows yet. I didn't want to increase the flow and raise the pump wattage up if I didn't have to. If I do bore them out, should I bore out both the inlet and outlet...
