designed to have a timber 4 x door cabinet slide in with false back to hide plumbing (sump directly below in garage) this wont happen till much later.

result....deltecs are the best and bucketts suck(unless you havent put fresh water down the pipe thingey) further to this scientific study it will come as no surprise that deltecs are the most coveted skimmer in nz due to obvious reasons.1: no one was willing to swap their deltec (ira doesnt count) and 2:every buckett owner was too embarassed to even reply! deltecs are expensive but the best things in life cost alot. if you didnt know this before taking up reefing you should by now.

deleted original photos, :oops: [imhttp]

new tank is sitting behind in photo (having blue scraped off and repaint) shinyness is stainless..

cheers brian, pretty crap pics tho :oops:

:evil: :evil:????

long wait over-new stand ya! if you can see it my 1st time uploading photo worked..( just got my 1st dig camera and just opened photobucket account)

does "always'' extend beyond 50 years.........

i have in fact got a 1250 turbo. however the 1 swap offer posted shows this scientific study to have a compelling trend. ill cry if i have to ditch my deltec for a buckett (just so i can keep up with the jones's)

study due to close off tonight, so we can all start the new year with the knowledge of whether we have the best skimmer. beckett leading by huge margin....brokers tip for 06, go short on deltec futures... 8)

the judges decision will be final and no correspondance will be entered into. (it was suggested that i poll santa to see ratio of skimmer brand requests but ; a. he has not returned my call b. his input could be considered anecdotal and c. it is an established fact that only beckett users actually believe in santa. interim result has beckett leading by a clear margin..........

handbags at 10 paces in reefs thread please, this is a scientific test!

beckett 1 deltec 0

tels scientific test to determine the relative performance between these 2 skimmers: 1. anyone willing to swap their deltec for a beckett 2. anyone willing to swap their beckett for a deltec please register your votes here... 8)

great to see a head to head test between the deltec and bucket. i currently have a deltec but would consider getting a breakit. please advise correct spelling so i can do a search on the bunkit.

sounds like someone dropped a matchbox car in your tank,either that or something dodgy in your coffee

steve have you made any progress on a bulk buy?

nice aquascaping,looks awesome.

good fragging skills! good timing for xmas too,congrats.

i'll take 8 thanks,good work

what are the general effects to the tank chemistry you notice as it heats up,in terms of bacterial activity,algie etc?

with summer on its way, whats the upper limit for most people? do many vary temp from season to season or go the constant route with chillers etc? (this will be my 1st tank,no chiller and sump downstairs in a cool garage)
