Nestea as Skimmer Test

[titus]

Hello,

Just observed something very interesting. I was making Nestea from the Nestea powder you can buy in a grocery store. Then I shake the mixture and before I knew it, it was foaming crazy. Not only that, the foam is solid, dry, and stay that way for hours. I actually don't think it's going to go away. So, um... is this a potential test substance for skimmers? Um.... interesting.

How will this help test skimmers? (What are you mixing in the icetea Titus?)

Hello,

Due to the extent in which foams are formed, it is possible to dump some of these powder into the test tank to accelerate the skimmer foaming process. This is good for quick testing right away to see whether a design change work, or to do a rapid A/B comparison, etc.
