I am going to run a little test. I’ve been running a Bullet 3 on my 280 reef with a super high bio load. I use it to skim super wet @ 2-3 gallons per day. Based on my bioload I should likeIy have a larger skimmer. So I picked up a used ASM G4X modified to recirc. I am going to set it to skim dry but heres the fun part. My Beckett draws from a very small baffled area in my sump that both overflows feed into. The pump on the skimmer and the return are evenly matched with a slight advantage to the
skimmer pump. My sump then has another chamber where the skimmer effluent flows into. I am going to place the
needle wheel in that compartment so effectively it will be skimming what’s already been skimmed by the beckett. I am going to based success on skimmate production on the needlewheel as well as No3 levels in the tank. If I am skimming more I should see a drop, right?
Care to speculate on what I'll see?
