The reason for my great comparison was because you said "IMO this is funny because in the end...all those skimmers just spin/blow tiny little bubbles that waste sticks to and goes into a waste container."
Now I don't know if you can understand this but all skimmers are not created equal. I am happy for you that whatever skimmer you have has been working great for you for however many years it has been. Other people, like myself, have not been so lucky. I was unhappy with my previous skimmer and decided to spend more to get a what I hoped would be high quality great performing skimmer.
The very basic level of a description would be what you described "skimmers just spin/blow tiny little bubbles that waste sticks to" but there are several different factors that determine a skimmers ability to do that, but I am sure you know all about those.
The purpose of this forum is for people to share information on reef products, techniques and their tanks. If it cracks you up that people are passionate about that then you may be in the wrong place.
I also enjoyed how you started saying "Everyone likes what they like and pays what they want to pay. The end." and then went off on a rant about how all skimmers are equal and the one you bought years ago does the exact same job as a newer more expensive skimmer.
Great comparison. A poop skimmer that sits in the sump and makes bubbles and a car that you have a personal comfort connection with, etc. Nevermind grasshopper.
Oooo...and all for the price you could actually buy a nice commuter car for.... lol.
