Bro lyz77 since you want to convert your skimmer to recirculating do you think it's advisable for me to get the recirculation skimmer. Best is if you can post some pic so that we can know how good is the skimmer. :thanks:

Dun hv a digital cam, so can take any pics! <_<

Can only tell if it's worth it once I kw the price to DIY and depending on the end result! It's more like an individual preference as DIY does hv a risk in the case, the end result is not wht u want! I believe u kw the price diff between the NW-200 & DNW-200 so it really boils down to how u weight it! ;)

Hi bro drato11 anymore update on the skimmer how do you like it so far. Have you try dry skimming would like to see the result. Have anybody tried using other needlewheel pump (aquabee or ocean ruuner) with the skimmer. :thanks:

Hi, sorry was not monitoring the thread for a while.

I've just modified the outlet pipe a week ago. I don't have a digicam at the moment, will post a pic soonest. I modified the pipe by adding a control valve, followed by a T-joint, and thereafter allow the water to flow thru a basket filled with wool. Hope you understand wat i meant.

Over the wkend i was trying to look for a bigger flowrate needlewheel pump but can't find any. Any one here can advise me where to get OR or Aquabee needlewheel?

I wanna upgrade the needlewheel to about 2000L/hr. Currently the pump (1000L/hr) is alrite, just that i tot a 2000L/hr pump will greatly improve the performance.

I'll take pics soon once i hv a digicam. Currently my 2ft cube is over loaded with fishes, and i feed them heavily. Tank parameters are still fine. PO4 is always bet 0-0.03 using Salifert test kit. Can't seem to bring it down to 0 think due to my crazy feeding habit. No3 is constant at 5ppm. So far so good, no nuisance algae in my tank.

Cheers!

Bro drato11 you can buy OR at Aqua Mart and aquubee from Aquamarin or SL. Oh ya would love to see some pics of before and after you mod the skimmer especially with OR or Aquabee needlewheel pump. :idea::yeah:

Thanks bro. btw, where's Aqua Mart ?:look:

Will definitely post the pics if i try it.

Btw, for those who wanna mod their outlet pipe like i did, the size is 1 inch PVC grey pipe. Fits nicely to the original pipe.

Anyone can advise how to reduce the bubble in the outlet pipe? :erm:

what i did was to let the water from outlet pipe flow into a basket filled with wool. Significantly reduce the micro bubbles from the outlet pipe.
