For those of you who broke down and paid double what you needed to, let's be realistic. Does it pull more junk?
I'm not tanking about quality of build, craftsmanship, being hung up on a specific brand, the country it's manufactured in, or overall attractiveness of the product. Or even the cost per watt to run them. Obviously you will get all of that from paying more. So let's leave that out of the debate.
If a skimmer "X", which cost $800, is rated for a heavy bio load at 200 gallons, and skimmer "Y" is $400 rated for the same heavy load, will it take longer to pull the same amount of junk if both are properly tuned?
@randyBRS @Ryanbrs I know you guys have a tank set up to measure this with multiple skimmers. The could be a good "investigates" episode. But maybe you could weigh in too
