I dun really know what it is call...but this thing helps to filter off fine micro bubbles coming out from the outlet hose...

[rshut]

[rshut]

I must say it is a efficient and affordable skimmer...Post ur comments and views...So....beckett users... what do u think?

[somebody]

[Dispar_Anthias]

Pardon me.. the bubble density in the reacting chamber is really too little

hi any idea if they are selling the bubble removing thing separately ?

[Alvin Tan]

well..the results were not so fantastic to me..maybe it is because of the bubble density..anyway to increase to bubbles??looks veri insufficient...

my 2 cents..

[giantbicycle]

bro, i think it is called the (KS) model instead of the (AS) correct me if i am wrong..

[luohan11]

thou bubbles in chamber is less, but this seems satifiying

[hotlemond]

bubble density. any way to increase it?

only by pump and the air intake, but the pump dosent seems to be able to change huh

[rshut]

But if the bubble in the skimmer is really dat little,i dun think i'll get a thick skimmate and this is only 6 hours of skimming...I'm still thinking on how to improve the NW pump to get a better result...any ideas ppl?

what is the pump capacity of this new skimmer?

[rshut]

31W,2000l/hr.

[Rocks]

31W,2000l/hr.

maybe change the pump to higher capacity? you think this will increase the bubble density?

[rshut]

Haven tried dat yet....but whr can i find a NW pump alone?

Reefers told me that my Macro's NW can fit into the housing of a Rio2800 pump. I have yet to find which local LFS selling Rio 2800.

Another source is order via the internet...

bro, modify the macro a little and add two sanders inside to increase the bubble count.

For pump wise, maybe u can go for a 3500l/hr pump. See if it will help. .

pardon my ignorance...

(1) how to modify the marco (details please?)

.

(2) what are sanders? - air stone har?

.

(3) Which 3500l/hr pump (brand / model) you refer to, available in the local LFS?

- can this model fit the current macro pump's needle wheel?

- or the 3500l/hr is already a needle wheel pump by itself?

CHEERS!
