Hi Bro

I use gravity feed for my Deltec APH525 and it work perfectly for me. Save 1 feeder pump, reduce heat load from having feeder pump and save money too....he he.

Upz for the skimmer sales.

Hi, dnsfpl

I agree with ivoon, I've been using the skimmer for months without a pump and the only thing that's missing is the price in my electric bill. I'm now doing the same with a AP902...

ambystoma82,

it's a recirculating skimmer using a needlewheel.

wow...interesting...how do i do this on my macro300 needlewheel skimmer tks

[garyjg]

When I had the tank made I had an extra hole put in at the bottom of the overflow compartment, added a ball valve and that it… no pumps required.

If I am not wrong, Macro300 is a in-sump skimmer and thus cannot use gravity feed. Only out-sump skimmer allow this option.
