looks good. i am having a tough time finding the pump curves for the GenX 55. the higher the head pressure the pump can handle the more efficient the skimmer will be. for using dual becketts a pump that can handle loads of head pressure would be ideal.

Kewl, looks like you got good foam and stuff. Be interesting to see it with both Becketts running

I am happy with what it is doing now with only one beckett. I can't wait to see what it does when fully broke in and on dual becketts...
