This is the info I can not find before but now I have a chance to share this information with every one ^_^

two of the skimmer are in the same sump both of them are set to wet skimming so it is very interesting to find out the how the no name skimmer compare to the much hyped euroreef skimmer.

The EuroReef actually looks like it is performing a bit better to me. The foam cap is more even and consistent and there are lots of level, fine bubbles. The Bermuda almost appears to have a "burp" and the bubbles that are breaking aren't nearly as fine. You can't really compare the two cups, since the volumes are different. Besides that, skimmers often act "funny" when two are run simultaneously--one will often outperform another, even if the one performing isn't necessarily a better skimmer. A fairer test would have been to leave the tank for X amount of days, add skimmer, test skimmate volume, and record. Remove the skimmer, wait X amount of days, add other skimmer, same as above, compare the two on a volume-by-volume basis in terms of skimmate removal. Try to get skimmate as similar-looking and of the same consistency as possible.

oh I forgot to state the bermuda skimmer is brand new has not been broken in yet, the euro reef skimmer has been up for a year, as for the flow the euroreef get the dirty water first and then the bermuda gets the 2nd pass. as for the baubles I like the euro reef better it is much smaller then the bermuda's
