Sorry, but I don't understand the purpose of this poll. The amount of skimmate doesn't tell us anything without knowing all the variables involved. And there are a lot of variables to consider. Can someone please explain what I am missing?

There's not that many variables. Don't make things so difficult

OK. For three days worth of skimmate, I would be in the 240mL + category. What does it mean?

How big is your tank and what kind of bio load do you have?

That's my point. Without knowing all the varibles, the amount of skimmate doesn't mean anything. That's why I don't understand this poll and the reason for my original question.

food, flow, temp, lighting, alage production, biomass, respiratory rates of the biomass, heterotrophic vs. autotrophic biomass, photosynthesis rates, the list goes on. Ideally I rate my skimmer on black goo per every change time (which is never the same). I have values of "not much" "a fair bit" and "real lots"

I'm the same. I can tell when somethings not right in my system, but I can't see how me telling someone how much skimmate I have over a 3 day period will have much meaning to anyone else. |
