[roidan]

[Melvyn Tan]

Both skimmers producing skimmate - one did not shut down the other....

[iori_del]

Three Cheers for the quattro designer under the sky,

Seven for the other gurus in their halls of stone,

Nine for organics doomed to die,

One for me on my dark throne,

In the Land of Sengkang where the quattro lies.

One skimmer to rule them all, One skimmer to find organics,

One skimmer to bring them all and in the bubbles bind them

In the Land of Sengkang where the quattro lies.

"I do not have a strong preference for any particular skimmer style. Rather I strongly recommend the employment of two skimmers on every system in different styles. The employment of two or more skimmers will ensure nutrient export without interruption from cleanings if the skimmer service is staggered."

I currently run my 3 ft with 2ft sump with 1 x urchin and 1 x shuran. Both did not stop skimmimg.

Thanks Gouldian....

Schuran is certainly a good skimmer...bet your water must be real clean

No worries my friend. That's what I call "Best of Both World" -a combination of German & American technology.

But in order to save cost, I might be selling schuran soon and change to sanders.

bro let me know if u are selling ur schuran.

but why you said save cost ?? does it required a pressure rated pump

[Melvyn Tan]

Schuran recommends using eheim pumps

Schuran is running on Eheim and is good. But since I am only using it as a secondary skimmer, I think I will try to use the Sander currently running my QT tank.

So when I dismantle QT, Sanders will be in my main tank vice-versa.

As the sanders is only a air pump skimmer, I guess it will be lass power consumming as compared to the Schuran.

Sunny - you interested? Although I am in no hurry of letting go, if you want, I can release it anytime. Better than posting and waiting.

is schuran a spary injector ??

[Gouldian]

is schuran a spary injector ??

Its venturi.

My is the JetSkim 100. Can be used inside or outside of tank.

Tested using 2 skimmers - both working and skimming out skimmate, concur with Roidan (over the phone) 2 skimmer will still skim.
