SRC Member somebody Posted April 30, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 30, 2006 hey guys, i tried to mod my macro AS350 with a mazzei 584. It is connected to a sicce extrema, 2500l/hr. but somehow, the bubbles are not dense, it seems so sparse, its so sad. =( hope some of you diy gods can help me. =) the set up of the sump: skimmer body: top of skimmer body: skimmer neck: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member somebody Posted April 30, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 30, 2006 could it be the number of elbows? only 3 what. usually will have at least 2 right?? =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Tanga Posted April 30, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 30, 2006 Bro can show how you connect the pump to mazzei and skimmer so it's easier to clarify the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Oceandeep Posted April 30, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted April 30, 2006 believe mazzei need high flow rate... mostly using 5000l/hr.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member somebody Posted April 30, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 30, 2006 bro tanga, the first picture shows it? =) hmm.. higher flow rate? really? some ppl say don't need lehz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member madmac Posted May 1, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 1, 2006 Agree with Firestream, thats what I was told to improve bubble count from the guy I bought from. Is there a way you could remove the elbows, and connect the pump directly to the Mazzei? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member somebody Posted May 1, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 1, 2006 actually there's only1 elbow b/w the pump and the mazzei, i'm thinking it might the constriction at the imput of the skimmer. its pretty tiny.. hmm. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member sunny03 Posted May 4, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 4, 2006 bro maybe you can connect the pump directly to the mazzei and try to use a pressured pump. change the skimmer body to a shorter body and use a bigger dia.

SRC Member somebody Posted May 5, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 5, 2006 guys.... for those who know the AS350 model, you know the "imput" into the skimmer "mouthpiece" right... is there any way i can use something to cut around it, so that i can take out the whole internal piping and use a pvc piping instead?

SRC Member somebody Posted May 7, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 7, 2006 steady bro~!! so its not the small imput of the skimmer that is limiting it but rather the pump eh? what's the flow rate and head of the rio 20 ah? thanks!
