I am not to happy with my current skimmer. I removed the beckett injector last night and put the venturi back on and its working better but not much better. I know I need a mag 18 or larger to run the beckett injector but I really don't want a mag 18 or larger in my sump. I also need a skimmer with an ozone port. Any recommendations on a skimmer that will skim 260 gallons of water and has an ozone port? I also am thinking that I need a needlewheel skimmer

I like the Precision Marine bullet 3 but will like to look at other options

Any skimmer that sucks in air can be fitted to an ozonizer.

not mine, I can smell the ozone

Steve I thought you loved the smell of ozone. I have some small ozone airstones that you could put in skimmer body if you want to try that.

I thought he was partial to CO2

:lol:

funny, Mike I tried the airstones and I can still smell some ozone

 

[MikeAtJax]

Does your current skimmer not have a good dwell time?

 

[PelagicMagic]

nope



I am looking at these lifereef skimmers. $409 with pump and its external. Rated for a 250 gallon tank. Lifereef has one of the best venturi driven skimmers

Steve have you tried an ozone reactor they work very well.

 

[PelagicMagic]

I have been looking for one. I can only find the corallife reactor and its rated for a 100mg/hr ozone generator. Do you know where I can find a bigger one?

I take back what I said about my sealife skimmer. Its the champ now after i removed the beckett mod. I think my pump was too small for that mod.

However I still have the ozone problem

why not try one of these, there is a giant thread(split 4 times)on RC about them and they are very comparable to deltecs.

The Recirc 200 is for up to 400g systems.

thanks cody, I have read that thread a few times. I came across an H&S skimmer.

 

[nikonosis]

is the h&s what your going to be buying? I was really considering one of them but honestly the price is just a bit to high for me right now since I have to buy all of our equipment still.

 

[PelagicMagic]

yep I should have it next weekend.

 

[nikonosis]

what one did you get and does it have an aquabee or an Eheim?

 

[PelagicMagic]

no clue
