Unit base to point of hanging = 800mm or 11"

Currently I am hanging this unit on the wall of the sump and here is a pic taken just after maintenance yesterday.

HI,

Can I know the noise level?

read from other forum there is user facing noise problem coming from the vibration of the pump on acrylic wall of the skimmer....

Hi Nim,

May I know for this skimmer, are there any micro bubbles escaping from the outlet? Also what is the flowrate of the pump used? Thank you.

You will enjoy free vibration operation with the unit as long as possible until or after the 1st mainitenace where you "strip" the unit and assemble it again.

Depending on your skill level, the vibration noise may or may not happen. It will not happen if the pump is slot tightly to the inlet piping otherwise it will results in vibration due to loosely couple connection.

Found this out the hard way ....

Anyway, the vibration noise won't irritate you and is easily cancel out by surrounding noise.

The design of this skimmer doesn't allows any micro-bubbles to escape to the outlfow compartment as it is well contain inside the reaction chamber.

Pump flowrate?

Can't remember but I believe the AquaBee pump to be at least a 2000 L/H using the patented Deltec pinwheel.

Thanks Nim. I'm impressed by their design - with a pump running at 2000l/hr inside the skimmer and there is no micro bubbles escaping.

That's why the MCE600 makes you poorer by S$600.
