Guys this is a difficult topic as we are all well intentioned individuals and want the best for our fellow reefers starting out
BUT
i cannot see the sence in trying to advise a student for EG to purchase a expensive piece of equipment when they cannot comprehend its importance and they will certainly not understand why they are able to get a simular product "cheaper" (jebo, boyu you get) my drift.
maybe the question was asked in the wrong manner but we need to assess the situation and go with what is needed as a minimum and then build on it from there..
i am the first person to promote the use of an oversized skimmer for eg on the smallest of tanks, its my belief that it is extreemly important to have one rated at least double the total system capacity.. but if i cant afford a top end skimmer i will be looking at something in my price range that claims to do a simular capacity
now
is there not a way we can get these ridiculous skimmers off the market?
i still see people being conned into buying jebo's and it will continue to happen untill somebody puts a regulation in place..
i dont want to make the hobby unaffordable but i would like to see the right product correctly specified for the correct volume and intended purpose..
there must be something we can do
thoughs comments welcome...
