Protein Skimmer Production/Improvements

[JimW]

Hi Anthony!

Have followed your writings and advice for several years now and have
learned much! (I read much, post little). I do have one question that has always confounded me in regards to your suggestion that skimmers should be able to produce a full cup of dark skimmate each day.

Could you please explain the assumptions used to determine this recommendation?

I currently run a Euro CS6-2 on a 125 with 50 gallon sump, but have never been able to attain anything near a full cup of dark skimmate per day.

Thanks, Jim
