Schwaggy is correct... Bullet 3s only have one injector.

Hmm, I don't know where I got that idea then, I was probably thinking about somebody else.

I wish someone could explain the benifit of the whole 2 becket thing??
Sure if you have 2 pumps, but with only 1 pump you are pumping the same amount of water. The only "advantage" is being able to pump more air.. ...then again who has their valve cracked open all of the way anyway?
I know mine is opened only 2.5 turns or so.

Are you referring to the PCX-70HP? That's equivalent to an Iwaki 70 and uses 300 watts.
If the PCX-70 is not a pressure-rated pump, it will have a very difficult time powering a beckett.

Schwaggy is up on his Spanky trivia, there is no question about it. Was Spanky ever in CT?

I think, back in late December and January, Schwaggy took a crash course in Bomberology.

It'll be hard for that dude to come back.  everyone will have all these questions and start bothering the guy.
His stock went up once he left, kind of like elvis.

I think it's just a gimmick. Kind of like "recirculating" models.
Looks and sounds cool, but has questionable benefits.

I have seen a recerculating beckett skimmer, (in a picture) I forget who had it though.

Do whats killing me on this? MD sells the pump as an hp 1537 gph and 31.8 ft, 300watts. Liveaquaria designates it as the hp in there catalog but not there site. 1537 gph 31.8 ft 180 watts.
Does anyone have the MFGs website?
