If you can wait, I can make this for you! Currently engage in a consulting project for a 250g Reef System and this should be done by New Year, so will be able to get start on any other new project.

Man, that is one large footprint....

I would need a very large sump to house it....

You intend to DIY it????

Joe: Hey mx 70 can only drive 2 becket and it is just enough...tried it...will be incoporating it to my own tower skimmer..

max: i'll be doing a double deltec needlewheel skimmer (marinebetta's 2 X original deltec pinwheel) using pvc...one question..how would you be fabricating the funneling part???tt's my main concern..the rest of the components are just simple din standard pvcs...he's going to be my guinea pig..hehe..if successful, i'll probably employ pinwheels too as they are more energy efficient! than a mx70 pushing 2 beckets!!

how much are u charging ur contraption?just curious..pm me??i won't fab for sale for sure, so dun worry... :P

Alvy,

Do let me know if you intend to produce the Deltec lookalike...

(always inspire by your DIY skills)... ;)

it is going to be a trial thingy..but i'll make it as close to a deltec model as possible..the funneling part is tricky..may need to remodel one from a 6-4 inch reducer..or alternatively, fab one from pvc boards...tough but hey someone's gonna pay for the raw mat and i'm just providing the machinery to assemble things! i seriously believe even though a dual becket is a superb skimmer solution, but if 2 eheim can do the same job, why not opt for less enegry consumption..also, i can channel my mx 70 to other purpose!l
