I have a Skimmer with a collection cup discharge tube that runs to a 2" PVC Reactor full of Carbon and the cheap nylon woven matting. The wet skimate flows at probably 2-5 gallons per hour. The water pushes through the PVC leaving behind any waste. Clear water comes out the other side of the PVC back into my sump.

The only real benefit I have noticed is not having to clean the waste cup every day. Water quality is the same whether I collect in a waste storage container or send it throught the PVC filter back to the sump.
