lol I have to read your article then because I thought those were the basic functioingn portions of any basic skimmer.
Ill go deeper.
Air source - Without this, bubbles will not generate; on a venturi style pump, water would just overflow. In airstone driven skimmers, you need air to go through the lime stone or other diffuser ie air pump.
Body - without a body, you will just have a pump generating bubbles in your tank and for an airstone, it would be no different from you just adding a regular airstone in your tank
Collection - Without a collection source, the skimmate will just spill back into the tank.
