strat:

this sunday should be able to fire it up for some test shots

here are some GF valves, pipes and fittings....

why need so many? well, cos like i said before..this is a transformer skimmer...

can change and change and change and change ...

change what? shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[roidan]

more reinforcements

[lightningstrike]

Must i pray to the monster???

btw, can ur sump hold the vol if ur MX100 fails??? juz in case........

[roidan]

close up of a GF valve...

the feel of closing and opening the valve is....ohhhhh..euphoric....

only GF users can understand such a feeling

[roidan]

Must i pray to the monster???

btw, can ur sump hold the vol if ur MX100 fails??? juz in case........

no need to pray lah...but definitely you have to look up to this skimmer as it is definitely taller than you...

for other skimmers...go ahead ..... look down on them....

i dun think there are many home skimmers taller than you

well..no problem with that scenario...the designer got all angles covered

[roidan]

precision air valve....

ohhh..before i forget...please kindly inform me and ask me for permission prior to any use of these pics.....it's only polite...basic courtesy and ettiquette...especially when i am readily available for contact here...

[roidan]

the 4 injector housing....slim and neat

[dr evil]

u should be having the best beckett in the market rite now.....have not seen better. Unless someone want to built those like in coral farms

[roidan]

u forgot one part...

the best electric bill soon too

play the russian roulette?

kidding lah...will be having extra injectors/housings so that during maintenance...i take out one housing...i have one immediately to put back without much interruption while i can take my time...and wash ...can wash for days or weeks also can...

[roidan]

ever wondered why beckett users sometimes complain about the bobbing of the foam/water level whereas needlewheel users are very happy with their stable foam head?

part of the solution is the tapering neck that most, if not all, needlewheel skimmers have....

i have the luxury of seeing injection skimmer and needlewheel skimmer for many months operating side by side in my system......thus i know how important the tapering neck is.

disclaimer: doggy posed in it for a couple of seconds only

no lah...what i can show u guys...i show thru photos here....

other than that...are alot of design innovation by the designer that i have

to protect his interests.....

as cookiemunster once said and i agree..

it takes weeks...months....years even perhaps to hone a design...

but just seconds to pilfer it
