A little after Christmas present arrived
What could it be? You probably already guessed, it's my skimmer... This is what makes the magic happen

A bit smaller than I expected, but thats good because it barely fit as it is
Not bad for running about 30 seconds

Hey, where's the fish?
Also, what's the theory behind the bubble diffuser plate on this skimmer and others like bubble king etc? Even dispersion? I'm not up on the latest skimmer improvements

They're intended to create even dispersion and reduce turbulence. I guess the theory being that you can develop a more stable foam column in a short bodied skimmer.

i think they also prevent large bubbles from forming, but that goes along with even dispersion.

Man, I am so jealous... That thing is sweet!!
measured air yet? |
#64
|
|||
|

I don't have a air meter, but others are getting 500-550 lph with the needlwheel and close to 750lph with the meshwheel. I'm running the needlewheel right now.

Return pump to display, 1048 or is that another1250

Return pump to display is a 1260. I tried a 1250 as the return just to see how it would work, and the head pressure slowed it down too much.

Thats a small return pipe.. Have you "guessimated" gph ?
|
#72
|
|||
|
|||
I think the 1260 is rated in the neighborhood of 630 gph, so after headloss I would bet 400-450gph, but I haven't bothered to run it through the headloss calculator.

Well they didn't have an Eheim 1260 on the calculator so I used another pump with a similar output and it said 431gph.
