Fuel's Marine Sources Skimmer

[Cedric]

o ya anyone got use any output pump other then the default atman pump given..

I had the same thought right from the begining. However, must wait till the shop bring in the fittings. Else, only the supplied atman pumps will fit the unions supplied!

15 fishes need feeding. Some food needs to sink for the scooters to get them. The hermits too, the crabs too and my favourite jawfish too.

Not to mention just now..just fed my black suncoral one whole cube of mysis.

hmm well you dont need the actually fitting ma..

you can use big enough pipe and then connect then together and tighten it...

just like how you ppls connect your pump to our input pipe that go back to your tank...

Hi, I must beg to differ, you've probably got to see the unions provided to get what I mean.

[alanseah]

i did.. i got my skimmer only..the big one..

yes i know the unions how it look like..

but it's still possible to use plastic pipe over it..

it may not look like but it serve the purposes..

Hmm . . . I got the the big one too! Well, I guess I stand corrected.

[FuEl]

Too bad the big one can't fit into my sump.

So maybe will get one more small one when I have the $$.

Time to go fasting again.

[flubberina13]

Wah...you like 'take-ko' liao and still wan to fast?

[Cedric]

Best is if Octopus can get his hongkong counter parts to make replacement needle wheel impellers or replacement pumps with needlewheel impellers as upgrade!

[FuEl]

Wah...you like 'take-ko' liao and still wan to fast?

What is 'take-ko'?

Anyway...i grew fat over the new year. Everyday munching every single hour of the day.

[alanseah]

Hmm . . . I got the the big one too! Well, I guess I stand corrected.

ok now we understand how to make the connection part work..

now the question is what type of pump we can use..

any type off the shelf or only selected type..

[alanseah]

'take-ko' is bamboo stick...

[FuEl]

This is the first time I have been compared to a bamboo stick. Should I be flattered?

[Octopus Bay]

Hi Guys,

I have arranged spare parts, just in case you guys need to change the pump...

[Cedric]

Great! How much is it? Can let me know or PM me?

Hi FuEl,

Just bot a small marine sources skimmer yesterday. Where do u keep the water level for effective skimming ...it tend to stay at the upper part of neck. I tried to tune the water level to the middle but not possible even with opening more of the air valve.

And do u raise the skimmer since it is quite short ?

hi.. Nic A Jon,

I have PM you

FYI- new skimmer need about 3days to break in, see how THICK the skimmate collected after 3days and you may try to rise if you find it too low.

Octopus BAY

[Cedric]

Mine took 3 days to break in too! Just be patient. Maybe you can open up the water outlet more in order to lower the water level in the neck of the skimmer.

By the way Octopus, when is the skimmer pump parts arriving? Also, its using the Atman 105 for the large skimmer right?

Thanks!

[alanseah]

hmm me wondering if Eheim Universal Pump can be use for the skimmer..?

[Cedric]

If can best lah! Then Octopus can help us get upgrade kits for our skimmers with needle impellers!

[alanseah]

[Octopus Bay]

Hahahaha... OK. Ok...
