Is a fish-safe skimmer even possible?
We have a big beautiful crepe myrtle tree that dumps flowers and leaves in our little pond several times a year. I had a PondMAX skimmer that worked great except it loved to eat my goldfish. I tried slowing the flow to the bare minimum but it was still hungry. So, it had to come out.
Right now the crepe is dumping its admittedly gorgeous yellow and red leaves in the pond, and if the wind blows a little bit I can't keep up with the manual skimming.
