So who's gonna be the next beckett victim?

Hehe... better get mine built too...

more picture please......

:wub So who's gonna be the next beckett victim? 

Hehe... better get mine built too...

I thought you're the old timer in the beckett club ???

Here's here photos. Using the old trusty coolpix 5000 tonight

All assembled and ready to roll.

as I said: STATE OF THE ART equipment

Bro weileong...now i know why your tangs so healthy liao.

You have been playing music to it (speaker on top of tank).

That is the surround sound speaker

[Michael Young]

All assembled and ready to roll.

WL, I know you very excited but make sure you don't forget to either use Teflon tape or silicon the fittings....

[weileong]

Mike, I kanna all those micro leaks before so this time I ensure I seal all the joints with teflon

Last look at the EV-240, my workhorse for the past 6 months. It will have a good home soon.

[planetg]

of course AT's tower of doom is a killer but look at the *$&#* workmanship on the barr aquatics unit. i'm breathless. makes me wonder why waste time DIY, why not spend money and pamper myself

dun we all buy useless spoilers or car rims? i'm reconsidering!!!

[weileong]

Fire up at 4:10am, have not adjusted the unit yet. Checking for leakage etc.

Very untidy, will be neat once I get my new sump and have the proper piping etc.

[lvcap]

heyo!!

why so long then up and firing!!!!

inefficient leh!!

whahah

i awaiting eagerly for my new sump and single tower too!!!

can see my single tower tomorrow alr...!

hahahahahah

[weileong]

bro, wow so "early" still not asleep?

You know lots of work to be done. I had to redo the PVC from the skimmer return. Connect up the MX-70 etc. Add more saltwater, make sure no leak from the skimmer etc.

Luckily I see that my sump still can support the higher volume of water from this skimmer But a new sump will be coming soon as the crazy flow rate from the MX-70 is causing a lot of micro bubbles in the main tank now.

Anyway when you receive yours I see how fast you can fire it up. Wow kinda of like the who wants to be a millionaire game show lol.

[lvcap]

me ah?

i dun know..

i dun think my current sump can tahan the backflow if power cuts off

urs can ah?

i tot ur sump filled to the brim one?

urs double leh..sure more water flow..

mine?

can see tomorrow but setup later cos awaiting for new sump..

my tank now skimmerless....threading on danger ground..and very little LR....

my new plan is Clean look...few rocks...but more sand bed area for corals...and hope my single Beckham..paiseh...Beckett can run well...

sleeping time..

happy tuning with your new toy pal!

[weileong]

one hr later.

one hr later.

[roidan]

power sia..absolutely love the 2 acrylic downdraft pipes...

but the point of connection will kink or not, as i draw below....

[flubberina13]

He may need those bamboo stick holder or a support to 'probe' up the pipes so as to let the curvature be more natural?

I wonder if "wonder" will work in this case.

[dradttg]

Wow sia!! Can serve latte directly from you skimmer next time.

[patrick123]

Bro Weileong,

I'm curious to know if there is any difference in performance (skimmate), if you pipe all your mx-70 output to one beckett versus splitting into 2 beckett.

You can do this experiment easily right? Since you have individual valve to control the flow for both.

density of bubble output??

[weileong]

but the point of connection will kink or not, as i draw below....

Roidan, pls see the photo that I attached, I used metal chain to support the whole structure so it will not kink See the blue arrow in the photo.

Wow sia!! Can serve latte directly from you skimmer next time.

Black black kopi-O already skimmed but I was a afraid of overflow if I set the water level too high so I just redirect the drain pipe back to the sump. Have lowered the water level for dryer skimmate I know your beckett also arrived, faster hook it up and serve pple kopi-O

Patrick and Deepblue, I've tried to just run one beckett off the MX70 and it seems that spitting it and running two beckett gives a higher bubble density. I say this because the "water level" is higher but that was when I just installed it and the skimmer has not kicked in yet.

After that I went to try it again and seems like running off one beckett really gives lower bubble production. Since I already have two beckett I will just run both The hissing noise from the air ###### is quite loud

wha...like laboratory sia.....now Beckett craze going on....he..he
