lol...I hear ya. I think the argument would go something like: Run less flow through your skimmer by getting a return pump and skimmer that would run 10x your system volume per hour. Then create the othe 30x GPH flow with a CLS. This makes sense if you have a sump-based refugium, but otherwise, I don't see that returning both skimmed and unskimmed water to the display tank is that detrimental to the health of the system. I certainly don't think it's worth 17k...lol.
