we will have to see. It isn't so much the reaction chamber I am concerned about .. well ya that to but I am taking about the down tube that the Beckett is going to fire into. that is a long way for most pumps to push air down which will cause the bubbles to coalesce into bigger bubbles. contact time its self is a deceiving term as bubble size plays a big part of it also. if you have two identical skimmers except one puts out large bubbles the other puts out small bubbles the one that puts out smaller bubbles will have more "contact time"
