  1. Mine is feed from the overflow return and i get big air bubbles going into the skimmer but it does nothing to affect its skimming.The flow rate is to much at the moment but it still works like clock work.Never had water level movement cause it to change its output.Gravity feed is the way to go.One less pump and Better skimming i think as it has to go through the skimmer first.

    deltec v beckett

    Deltec all the way.It took me a while to decide but the AP1003 rips it out like nothing i have ever seen and i can up grade to AP1004 by buying another pump as the fittings are already on the skimmer as you can see in the photo on the skuzzas tank rotorua thread.
  3. Saw one for sale think it was reefs on trade me for $70.Used but that dont matter.
  4. Awsome job with the thread cracker thanks.Anyone told you you should have been in journalist.How those zoos turn out, you wouldnt think that mine had never been fraged looking at them today there unstopable.
  5. Wonder world rotorua has been selling its marines like hot cakes.They have only got the normal left overs now but the coral display tank is finaly going and looking on track to be winner.

    I think it should be a new rule for new products.
  12. For an idea on price and brand names check out the total cost so far thread and new toys for a great debate on product performance.

    My skimate smells like rotting fish this week.I will have to add some BBQ sauce to even out the chunks and a little green herb. :-?
  14. I have read in a few books now that you should leave it for 3 or so weeks to let the plankton settle as it dies very fast and unless you supply the drum with and air stone to keep the water moving death is unavoidable.After the rest period you use the water out of your drum and leave the bottom 200mm or so behind as this contains the dead stuff.As for anything else the books dont say it will be a problem some dont even mention it.

    I have to say the skimmer is seriously sucking the poo out of the tank.I wonder how i did it with the piece of junk i had for so many years.And the streams well words cant describe how good they are.I recomend saving up and getting some of those and chuck the pumps and home made plumbing out the window.

  19. It hit me this week like a ton of bricks how much this addiction has cost so far.After adding it up i was a little blowen away.Some how i managed to spend $19000.00 odd dollars and the thing is still 90% empty.Post the cost of your tanks to date i bet they cost more than you thought and were ever going to spend.I am shocked.Anyone want to buy a marine tank only $18999.99 christmas special.

    Have been saving up for about 7 months and the wait is finaly over.After my flat worm wipe out i decided it was time to do it right.I wish the price was right but as we all know that is never the case. Deltec AP1003 It took a hell of a lot of work to get the green light to put the controler on the wall where you can see it.Women they just dont understand. Streams with 4 pumps. This is the best thing i ever did as it has only been a week and coral is looking alot better in colour and health shame about the cost.

    New Reflectors

    How about spraying them with high gloss 2pac clear car paint.I would try pour 15 which is very hard wearing and uv proof.
