October 20, 200520 yr Author comment_71251 well the new equipment is on order from ocean werx, should be made and ready by next month, cant wait to get that package. filled my tank half way last night just to test things. i will fill everything up this or next weekend. just waiting to see if NSW is going to work out Report
October 20, 200520 yr comment_71253 what happen the new tech xreef skimmers, i thought you were going to try them out. Report
October 20, 200520 yr Author comment_71256 i was contemplating them but i havent had enough feedback to justify the expense of an untested skimmer, i have seen the response of oceanwerx customers and so im confident ill be getting value for money. Report
October 20, 200520 yr comment_71261 what model ocean werx skimmer are you getting brian? any type of downdraft, venturi or beckett skimmer require BIG pumps to run them. i am considering the BS2-608 (I think thats the model) but they recommend running 2 x Iwaki 55's or equivalent! adds quite a bit of cost to the skimmer. Report
October 20, 200520 yr Author comment_71263 im getting the BS1-606, and i'll use the rio20hf that they reccomend. if i ever upgrade to a bigger tank when we have more space (should that be when??) i'll just buy the extension tube for the skimmer and a md55. Report
