There's some conversations happening on the Zeovit board about how the air-injected Beckett skimmer is more plankton-friendly than needle or meshwheels. Some people have sold their BubbleKings etc. and gone with a Beckett style and are seeing much better results with their coral colors and health. Another theory is that these water-chopping skimmers may cause the precipitation of necessary trace elements out of the water column. Nobody knows for sure and it's just anecdotal accounts, but still interesting I think.
