Weipro skimmer

[thecrap]

Planning to use a weipro 2011 skimmer for my 2ft five plan tank.

But the tank has braces, so wondering if it can fit.

Also does this skimmer skim the surface?

Thanks.

Still ok to use....i am using that model.

If yours is sumpless, then place the skimmer outside and the pump inside. Get a powerful pump, at least 2000L/hr to drive the skimmer, if not no power and yr skimmer will not be effective, coz i wasted some money spending on worthless pumps. This is a low end skimmer, so compensate by getting a good and powerful pump.

The skimmer works by the pump in the tank sucking in all the water and the bubbles produce in the skimmer will carry the organic waste to the collection cup on top. The more fine the bubbles, the more effective the skimmer in "carrying" the organic waste.

If you use low end skimmer, you can still have clear good quality waters by changing more frequently. It's that simple.

But if you want less hassle, then invest in a good skimmer. Thats my honest opinon.

You can hang the skimmer at the brace, if you do not have a sump.

Thanks, cause I read that it can't hang on tank with bracing.

Will the pump suck in small LS?

Can hang on the braces.

Yes it might suck the LS if the pump is too powerful. But I doubt weipro 2011 uses powerful pump, so its ok.

2000lph is powerful or not???

I use to have Weipro SA2011 running with 2000ltr PH on my 3ft tank. Maybe u want to try more powerful pump, like Ehiem or aquabee pump for ur weipro. I use a lousy brand and it did not give me good result.
