Protein skimmer - MACRO

[firestream]

Hi

By reading this tread, i have solve my problem.

I have bougt a macro few days ago.

I found out that when I off the return pump, the water in the macro keep rising untill it flood the collection cup.

According to you guys explaination that the water level depends on the depth of the pump. Thats means that when I off the return pump the water level i the sump increase and that cause the water in the macro to rise as well.

In the end i have to connect the 2 pump into the same switch so that I switch off both pump together.

I think it is not a good designin this area.

You can always rise the skimmer up so that the skimmer is above the water level.

i am using the Macro JS-350 Venturi Series driven with Atman 107 pump. The skimmate product was pure "lao sai" with black coffee.. very pleased with the skimmer i am currently using now.

Hi all,

I was thinking of getting marco AS100P for an upgrade(weipro2012).

I am using a 2ft tank, no sump. From the reviews I read seem like it cannot be hang on like a weipro, but shop tell me can be done. Pls help me to verify this.

btw the way can I used back my Ehem pump that support the weipro for the marco and wat the flow rate need for the marco. mine ehem 1250 I guess abt 1200l/hr.

Thanks.

as100P comes with the pump so u dun need to worry about whether u can use yr eheim

i also jus converted from 2012 to as100P today and volks, it can be hang on, trust me cos i jus bought it todae

as for the macro as350P i've been using on my 5footer, i'm very sure i didn't buy the wrong skimmer, it can skim out alot in 3 days during the starting phase of my tank when i had only 2 tangs.

during the same period, in comparision, my weipro 2012 (which serves my 10fish fowlr) skims out less in 1 week than wat the 350 (which serves only 2 fishes) skims out in 3 days

i am using as350p quite satisfied with the performance

if u compare the price of macro with its performance, its the best so far.....

[yiling]

can i ask how did u get rid of the bubbles coming out from the output hose ?

im having trouble getting rid of it..

Or do u have a sump ?

bro

he difinitely has it in his sump

[djviper]

for me i have my as350p behind my sump sometimes me have micro bubbles in tank , than after awhile no more liao lol

[Volitan]

Erm, not sure if this is considered hi-jacking this thread...

Anyway, having browsed through the Macro website, I realised that the "specs" of AS250P is the same as AS350P, except the output max capacity. Can anyone advise what's the difference between these 2 skimmers, other than the output and price? Maybe I missed out something?

i think the diameter of the skimmer are different ...

i think the diameter of the skimmer are different ...

I thought the diameter for both models is 15 cm? Please correct me if I read the specs wrongly.

i think typo....i own both 350p and 250p.....the diameter is and height is definately not the same......can barely fit the 350 into my cabinate, but 250....not problem...

Hi,

Is this the one that you purchased;

So it can be hang on the back of the tank? May I know which shop you purchased from as I couldn't find it in the east aread? Is it below $100 or more than that?

Sorry for asking so many questions? Thank you.

I wouldn't recommend hanging in on your tank although it can because its pretty big and is very heavy...quite an amt of stress on your glass if you hang it

when i used it, i let it sit on a stack of newspapers

its more than $100/- but should be less than 200

look for it at aquamarin or bio ocean...i only know of these 2 places

Thanks for the info.

[woverine]

bro chrisyew, if u staying at centralise area Reb**n have , all sizes.

[koniyakutz]

I saw a few macros @ Iwarna.

The AS150 is going for slightly below $100.

[somebody]

can't help but notice that the structure of AS-100 is different from AS-200 above. w/o the 45 degrees jet hole and stuff.

care to advice, whether a AS100 is as efficient as its larger bros, and of course, for their various recommended tank sizes lahz. haha.

anyone knows how much is a as100 going for? second hand?
