Hi,

The Aqua Medic Turboflotor Multi SL can be in-sump or out. It is a needle wheel so if spolit, only need to change the pump.

To use the AM Turboflotor Multi SL out of sump, need a more powerful to drive the skimmer rite since there may be some head loss due to the distance of the skimmer and the pump!

Juz my 2 cents!

[chrislzh]

bro, how much r u selling your hns and whatmodel and how old..?

Pai say, a bit

eh... when out-sump, it is for the skimmer to be located beside the sump, with only the pump inside, so u can utilise the space within the sump for other stuff.

HnS models requires 2 pumps, one to feed water into the skimmer, the other to create bubbles. Thus the choice of pump to feed water into the skimmer will depend on how far away you plan to place the skimmer away from the sump.

Thus for this model, out-sump is to place it beside the sump, not for it to be far away.

Aqua c Ev-120 patented spray Injection System or 150 reef octopus or H&S skimmer 850litrs in sump running Aquabee 38W F150-F2001 or H&S out sump model 400Litres running Aquabee 18W A110 F2000

[chrislzh]

or the aqua medic..?

[ReDDeviLs]

my vote H&S skimmer 850litrs

[chrislzh]

think i narrow down my choice of skimmer to H&S 850Litres compared to Schuran Jeskin 150. which is a better skimmer and choice..? i am buying soon.. pls give me all your valuable comments

[chrislzh]

one more to consider is whether to get a RM Beckett skimmer.. compare these 3 skimmer

[iantoh]

hi there bro chrislzh,

i am using a H&S 850L needewheel just like the one youre considering, and its honestly been the best skimmer ive had all these years. Far quiter and consumes far less energy than my beckett, and its easy to maintain as you just have to tune it once, and it skims consistently thereafter. its also able to skim really wet without going crazy and overflowing like some other skimmers so that you can tune it for wet skimmate without worrying bout it unduly overflowing.

actually, the schuran is pretty good too, but between them, i prefer the H&S.

cheers,

ian

[ReDDeviLs]

no experince with schuran.. prefer hns too

no experience with any of the particular brands mentiooned but hv used venturi & needlewheel and imo needlewheel is much better
