jervismun Are you able to measure with flow meter how much air the pump pull ?

i did my the same and i use 2 of them connected in line . i feed them with small maxi jet (without internal circulation) and it's reduce the nitrate in the effluent after 1 week to zero . it's need this time to create bacteria inside the reactor and when you smell the "egg smell" it's mean it's in good shape and start to work. you can squeeze to the reactor some dirty filter bug (if you use them) and process will be shorter .

Jervis must to say always you make nice preview i think the impeller size is the same as the sicce pump impeller that come on the new ATI skimmer , did you check that ?

who know to read chinese here ? thanks

oh it's great i will wait to see what you find . about copy that i don't think they can do something everyone copy each other here you can see the new Fauna Marin Ultra Skim remind you ..... other skimmer the use the aqua b pump on it " target="_blank">My Webpage " target="_blank">My Webpage " target="_blank">My Webpage

interesting how much it will cost i know it's avaiable in hong kong and in taiwan now need to find how sell them

he was very upset and i understand that : Wow.... no inventors in Taiwan ??? Only Copys ?? I am not amused... klaus

as i understand they copy and build the pump as the red dragon pump

those are new skimmer as i know they copy the BK from what i read they are available taiwan and HK so if you have any connection start to verify and put here some info .try to locate good store or store that have website in hong kong or taiwan maybe we find it , i try to and if i will find i let you know

anyone here saw the new copy of the BK made by china realy nice copy : " target="_blank">My Webpage " target="_blank">My Webpage " target="_blank">My Webpage " target="_blank">My Webpage " target="_blank">My Webpage " target="_blank">My Webpage " target="_blank">My Webpage

this is my ATI after 26-7 hour of skimming result and i modify the mesh on that skimmer , i can skim dry and wet and i am going to make more test on it to get a better result : " target="_blank">My Webpage

acidjazz When i saw the picture i ask you how much gallon you feed the skimmer because i thought the skimmer not perform as need to be and after discuss about the perform of it with other member you can get a better result on this skimmer it's very good skimmer and perform should be better as they look i will put here some TIPS that was mention and you can try them and see if it's right or not and the answer for that will be in the collection cup the skimmer set way too dry and all the waste is collecting in the entire riser pipe and none of it is getting over the top of the riser pipe. and this maybe caused by several possible incorrect 1. The water flow through rate is too low, needs to be at least 350gph. Also, is there any surging on the feed to the skimmer? 2. The waterlevel within the skimmer is too low, which translates to the bubble breaking level is too low. This causes to much waste buildup within the riser pipe and reduces the performance of the skimmer. The bubble breaking level should be approximately 2" from the top of the riser pipe like this photo. " target="_blank">My Webpage 3. Cannot see the full length of the exhaust. If it is too long of a straight return or is going slightly upward, the back pressure will affect the performance of the AP851. If the exhaust return is over 18", it needs to be always directed downward so gravity is working with the return water all the back into the sump. Also, is there any restriction on the exhaust return piping like a ball valve or reduction of piping size to smaller diameter as these can also affect the performance of the AP851. Obviously, from the photos of your BM250, that skimmer is set correctly, but the AP851 is definitely not. Adjust the AP851 and you should see a dramatic improvement on performance. i hope it's ok i just try to help and i will be happy to see a better result in your skimmer .

acidjazz important question do you know how much GPH you feed the skimmer ?

acidjazz yes it's not a lot to your tank and you have a lot of fsh especially tangs... with my ATI about 18 hour on 120 gallon tank with 8 fish look what i got (you should get more then that)

i see green color or i am wrong how much time it's take to the skimmer to get the detritus to build in the collection cup ?
