Anyone want this stuff? Lights, Ballasts, and Skimmer. ALL for $325. In Riverside CA, bring cash. Email [email protected] It's gotta sell or it's going in the garbage. In case your wondering, yes the lights work and the skimmer skims WELL. I only had a single beckett (it'll...

I am starting to move in another week or so and I have decided that when I set my new system back up it wont include my beckett skimmer. So I am selling my Iwaki 55 RLT. It is rated for 1080 gph at 29.6' of head pressure, new they are selling for $300. Mine is 8 months old but only ran for 4...

I have been talking with a person on R.C. about buying a MR-3 skimmer http://www.championlighting.com/product.php?productid=21010&cat=646&page=1 He wanted $300 for the skimmer alone +s/h or he found a Blueline #70 pump to run the unit for $542.07 shipped to my door... I'm kinda torn because I...

I finally set up the beckett skimmer I got from Jaim. It's still breaking in, but I'm confident that it's going to work well. I'm loving all this freed up sump space! This is what an in sump skimmer looks like when it hasn't been cleaned in a couple years... And finally a crappy FTS...

I'd like to document my skimmer build. Please hold off on posting in the thread until it is complete then post questions and I'll answer as well as I can. I built this skimmer to be used on my system which will consist of a 375DT, and three refugiums including one 75g, one 55g, and one 30g. The...

Well, I am new to this site and thought I would introduce myself and start my tank chronicle too. Some of you know me already, but for those that don't, my name is Greg...and I'm a reefaholic. I've been keeping saltwater fish since my wife, Gail, and I got married 25 years ago. We decided to...

Morning Everyone. Coffee is made. I am going to work on my skimmer today, so, its skimmer Sunday!!!!!!!

Do you run a skimmer or are you skimmerless? And, what lead to your decision to make that choice?

LONG Story short: Had a lower bulk head leak and had to drain my tank. So I took the opportunity to clean everything up and re-aquascape. Much more open now and no rock touching the glass so I should be able to keep it alot cleaner. Much better flow aswell. So here it is BEFORRE: and AFTER:

Well, in planning on moving sometime in the near future, I am going to tear down my 180. I have many items for sale. Live rock and fish will need to go first. But fancy trying to catch my fish with all the LR in there :) Here is what I have! I will be on vacation all next week (June 7 -...

must be its now sat am after working fri night, way to much to do to catch up and sleeping till noon wont help:9 The boys will be out , actually have to pick em up after dump run, jeez is it monday yet :(

Ok, so I got a PM bullet-1, and could not find a mag 12, so I bought a catalina CA-4000. This pump does ~1300 GPH at 0 head pressure. Anyhow, I did as the set-up instructions said, and got it all working on Wednesday evening. The water level is just about 1" above the Grey base, and I have good...

YES! I have official began my build. I am upgrading my 75 gallon. I will post some pics of the room that I am partitioning off and what the plan is. -I ordered the tank today. Will be here on Friday (I know, quick huh) -Will get a hundred pounds or so of live rock on Sat. -Bought an...

yep i know it seems i have been gone forever , but after three months of being invisible things are getting back to normal , well sort of .... the new tank is up and running but with lots of little things to do yet . so i should be back around alittle more and will continue to add to this...

Anybody have a brand/model of pressure rated pump that is a good pump? I need one in the 3000 gallon range and it has to be a pressure rated pump for a Beckett Skimmer.

Good Morning Everyone!:wavey:

While at the TRT picnic, I had an opportunity to see one of Geoff's DIY skimmers. He thinks it was the second one he built but wasn't sure. I told him that I already had all the pieces cut out to make me one but I had questions about it. Water direction, inside the chamber plumbing, etc. I also...

Well my crappy little skimmer was not gonna cut it on the new 125G...so, after being inspired by Scooby's "mixed nuts" skimmer, I decided to do some research and try my hand at a DIY skimmer...So here is the build! I based my design on a "Geoff" skimmer...here is a link to the basic design as...

This is from the back end of the Euro -reef frustration thread. I'm supposed to be going on vacation tomorrrow and right now it looks like I'll have to leave the skimmer turned off for a week or so, any ideas would be appreciated: I have been following this thread and I went ahead and cut off...

Why is it a box on the bottom of beckett skimmers (ie MRC) cost, mass producation ease, actual performance?
