I fed the fish everyday with cyclopee n fomular 2 and henry's food on alternate days

Hi iceman. Does your skimmer skim like mad after feeding henry's mix? Mine skim like hell but mostly SW and slimmy stuff so I usually off the skimmer while feeding henry's mix and switch it on an hr later.

No, usually i got dry skimmate. Usually i don't feed to much, fed only about the size of one cube of mysis shrimpe .

Pic of my Schuran.

I understand the bublble count is minimum. However, the Schuran is still skimming well.

I suspect its due to my very low bio load since there's no corals and only 3 fishes.

[acidjazz]

Look at the skimmate.

Very dry though.

Here is my Schuran Jetskim 100 in action. I'm using an Eheim 1250 and running in-sump.

Set the air intake to almost full to get wet skimmate cos my bioload is pretty high...

may i know how much is a schuran 200 and where can i get it locally?

they are actually venturi skimmers right? but whats so special about their venturi that made it so good. =)

[shootsimon]

Think its because of their R&Ds plus the finishing of the products are of superb quality. One of the reasons why I bought mine.

Agreed. Their suberb workmanship is remarkable. No diy guru can match Schuran.

Besides, this is a low wattage skimmer yet produces amazing results.

[somebody]

but why? is there something special in their venturi? that makes it more efficient?

[jquek]

I am not sure if their venturi itself is anything special, but Shuran skimmers uses the aquaflotor principle in their design to have a longer dwell time than conventional venturi skimmers:

Thinking of getting a jetskim 100 model but will it ok to use on a 4x2.5x2 tank?

[shootsimon]

[Octopuffy]

Thanks but he's not selling already leh... sad

[acidjazz]

See the difference when the schuran jetskim 150 is put insump?

[somebody]

how come put insump and outsump got such a big difference ah?

i suspect could be the head loss or something.

It gives better results when put insump.

Bio Ocean are also selling Shuran skimmers. They look excellent quality, but the price!!!!!! Virtually double what you pay for a becket.

I am very happy with my Ocean-werx becket skimmer - it works well and produces lots of skimmate.

Frankly, it seems to me that most people buy skimmers based on either price or personal preference. Those that buy on price (like I did initially) usually end up replacing their 'el-cheapo' skimmer with a real one within a short time.

There seems to be no reliable sources of information out there that can clearly state whether a becket is better than a venturi...etc., etc., Always differing views from the 'experts'...

hey bros

anyone can advise if Schuran Jetskim 100 can use the Aquabee 2000L pump? Will it be too strong?

If it is too strong, is it advisable to tee off and feed to a FR as well? Will it cause any problems?

[Giray]

I try and use schuran 100 with aquabee 2000 it will to strong and its not working properly so use ehime with schuran 100 is the best performance

[Reefzzz]

Hi Giray & fellow reefers,

Is it possible to tee off the excess from the aquabee 2000L to a FR. Do you think it can work properly this way?

[tivoli]

Hi bro,

I am running H&S and schuran skimmer both in my sump together.

From the skimmate production ....

The Schruan is only prob 50~60% as efficient as my H&S.
