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? :)

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!
