SRC Member hotlemond Posted September 11, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted September 11, 2005 Moerover, I realised this article here speaks of a certain advantage of a downtube/injection tube that conventional design held latest thoughts on skimmer design (Fourth paragraph of "Maximizing Air Flow") For just in case: BH, this isn't a personal attack, just discussion. If your design can squeeze out more from a beckett, I won't mind getting one myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 The turbulence reducer would be similar to BK only that I am going to use a cone with countersunk holes rather than the tube that BK has Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

blueheaven Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 I am rather worried that the reducer might not be able to withstand the high pressured water from the Beckett. What you guys think? Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...

blueheaven Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 Some changes to the design to reduce cost The reaction tube will be 8 inch and 30 inches high I have also removed the reducers and the turbulence reducer also had some changes Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

Kotobuki Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Bro, the turbulence reducer might cause the bubbles to merge together becoming bigger bubbles. Better way is th raise the height of the skimmer body. My 2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 I've thought of that Seems like with enough holes, that would be very minimal Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.
