very good point, Vidar
indeed there is some finesse to be had here. We don't want a glass calm surface... but indeed if it is choppy, all bets are off on optimal skimmer production. The point may be moot though if you are simply willing to shift (more) towards another means of nutrient export. So... if you favor the action at the surface, compensate with more water changes for nutrient control... and/or a brisk chaetomorpha refugium/vegetable filter.
But if you want to get your money's worth out of the skimmer, I do feel it would be better to not focus action/flow at the surface.
