Ken Feldman Skimmer study

[prattreef]

Those of you who were fortunate enough to hear Dr. Ken Feldman's presentation at the last MR swap, were treated to an exclusive sneak preview of some eye-opening and thought provoking ideas generated by his scientific research into Protein Skimming and more specifically Protein Skimmers and their efficiency.

Well, here is the article that publishes all the data for the 1st time:

If we get a nice thread going here, perhaps I can persuade Dr. Feldman to answer some questions.

Because they are all mediocre skimmers. I would love to see the results when top skimmers are tested.
Either way it is a cool article and it would be nice to have a way to determine the actual performance + capacity of a skimmer rather than listening to the ridiculous manufacturer claims.

skimmer article

Awesome article. We knew skimming was beneficial but this article proposes two actual measurements of efficiency. Thank you for making it available.
