Your objections would make sense if they were going to compare skimmers between groups - but all they are going to do is pick the one that works the best within a group in terms of skimmate. Then...

Hair algae will grow if there are excess nutrients - more important than light. Feed less, skim more, export nitrogen more with a fuge and macroalgae etc etc.

It is a royal pain.

Anyone have an underwater light meter? Or know where to borrow or buy one? Very curious to find out exactly what my T5 setup is producing.
