Air Flow Meter...

[itZme]

Anybody out there have a good airflow meter I can borrow for a few days? I think I will need somewhere around 20-60 SCFH. I was looking into buying one and found the Dwyer 10- 100 SCFH meter but it is $70 plus shipping and I just wanted it for some testing.

Hoping to find one that isn't too far of a drive but for me almost anywhere is a far drive

Hey Kevin,

Sorry don't have one.
But.
I'm curious. What do you need an airflow meter for? What mad scientist home brew are you working on now?

A little DIY project...

It's a big ole' skimmer. Hopefully it will clean up my dirty tank.
Now I will move on to building my "LASER"

You can order one from Dwyer for about $24. The RMA-22 (reads 2-25 LPM, liters per minute) is a good choice for hobbyist skimmer pumps.

You are correct. There is one on that link that is 10-100 but they are the really short ones so it would be really hard to read accurately. I was hoping to buy one of the 10" size to be able to read better but they are $70.

Maybe I will break down and get the small one so at least I can track progress and see a change.

The skimmer is 11" diameter, 36" body and about 45" high overall. I was going to go with 2x Eheim or Sicce with mesh mod but had a mesh modded Sedra 9000 and came across another one cheap so I figured I would give them a shot.
