Yupe for 2 straight days... so when I found out... I quickly removed it from bro Lyz77 tank so that his tank can get back to normal... and it has gotten back to normal (I hope) :)

So my first attempt to test the skimmer out was a total failure... so I've decided to keep the protein skimmer for a while till the tank is ready... testing in other reefer's tank is both inconvenient and high in risk (for the kind reefer).

Will update you guys again on this Baby... but if you have any queries about this product, we can still discuss it here.

I may also drop by AM more often to observe the progress of the Bubble Master... the last time I went... the skimmate was really :sick::sick::sick:

do u guys think this look familiar.

threadwheel

Good job bro Acontia... trust me, I've seen the real thing... and yours look very very similar... put it to test :lol::lol::lol:

Note: If I'm not wrong, ATI holds the worldwide patent to the ThreadWheel design... do be careful if you ever think about going commercial with this baby :)

Oh I was hoping to see some pic if you have after you had rectify the problem? Actually, I would like to purchase a better skimmer, would like to have more feedbacks before committing. Thanks for your help.

Hi Frankie, yes it's very wise of you to do some homework before committing. As technology improves ever so quickly, a very good skimmer 5 years ago may not be as good in year 2006. Having said that, I must apologize as I cannot provide you with more pictures of the product as I am now waiting for my new tank. My current tank doesn't come with a sump therefore can't test it.

How big is your tank? If you need advice, do PM me with more details. We can discuss further. As I might suggest you a few models to consider... it is not suitable to discuss it under this product review thread.

bro,u mention the pump might not be strong enough,but it comes as a set right?

Yes, the thing is ATI is still testing this new pump... just my observation and speculation only btw... let's not forget the main objective of this Twister®M... that is to provide reefers a decent skimmer with exceptionally low power consumption (11W = S$1.50/month). If they are to replace it with an Eheim, it will distort it's original concept.
