Think my skimmer is working right?

hehe!!

I did about a 110g water change and stirred up a bunch of gunk in one of my sumps...but this kinda shows the skimmer's abilities to remove a lot of organics, if they exist in large amounts.

Got a before and after shot?

Not here right now. I can tell you that this pic was taken soon after a water change that stirred up a lot of trash in my sump....which made a lot more organics available to be skimmed out. What this pic does though is show the skimmer's abilities, and the flow characteristics of the eggcrate mod. If the eggcrate wasn't in there, the turbulence is such that it mixes all the bubbles...not allowing the dirtier bubbles to rise to the top. It simply brings them back down again...where some wind up exiting the skimmer.
