Really huge Dual Beckett Skimmer....

[Joe_P]

Hi Guys,

I might be going crazy cos the thought of having a huge Dual Beckett monster as a skimmer has been playing on my mind...

I was thinking of something thats min 4 feet and above in height able to be torn apart into 4 - 5 extension skimmer chambers....plus a really huge skimmer cup....

Was thinking of using a 190/200mm ID/OD acrylic tubing for skimmer chamber....

Don't tempt me! I was thinking of a dual beckett myself... Robe's been saying that for the longest time to me.. upgrade to a dual beckett! LOL!!!

I wonder how much cleaner my water will become!

I think I can REALLY overfeed my reef then without worrying about over-pollution!

That would be real cool....

One issue though..... something that large would require a huge volume of water ......

Ever thought of what would happen if the pump that drives your current Alvy foamer would to fail???

So imagine something even bigger....

I can't imagine that skimmer size with your future 3 feet tank??

You have extra space in your skimmer for your acros.

You guys are getting crazier each day. Reef addiction is worst than bird flu or SAR

yah right.. hope you are joking.. .. the skimmer probably needs more water than your nano..

[Coral_ClamS]

wow really good ton of info but me jus an idiot in DIYing so maybe more of use to bigs gurus out there.

Prefer commercial made ones that come with warranty

BTW how many pumps are required to drive the dual beckett. or one giant pump is enough to drive the 2 injectors?

[Joe_P]

Er hem.... anyone with a Iwaki 70 here and a large enough sump....

*Cough* *cough* .......

[roidan]
