das75:
I did the the recirc, direct feed and gate valve mods on my G3 a few weeks ago. I'm thinking that I might move my direct feed further down the skimmer.
My questions: "Does your feed come directly from the overflow, or do you use a feed pump?
And, "Where (how high up) did you drill the hole for the feed?"
Thanks

Larrydawg, In doing some reading in recent post on the DIY forum.. It does look best to feed low... in fact very low. to keep turbulance down.
Hey, do you get any bubbles from you feed?-- I see some large ones.. may have to redesign my feed line
BTW, guys.. As a trial I removed my 45's on the discharges of my r/c pump and the feed. Skimmate production went down. (I believe --again due to turblance at neck)

What about the possible Idea of adding a 90 degree elbow to the inside of the chamber alone. Pointing more of the air-filled column, all the way to the bottom ??
Has anyone tried this ?? Speaking of just that Mod alone, no recirc. ??? ~ Thanks

90 pointed downward on discharge of pump..Yes, its been tried.. Causes alot of micro-bubbles in output.. turn it sideways, a little. Makes a big difference

If my sedra 3500 were to break down and had to be replaced.
What different brand of pump can I use ??
How could I get a RIO for instance, fit the larger diameter elbow for the input of flow ??
Im not very plumber savvy , thanks for the help ~ Tony

G-6 users, how high do you have the water level on the skimmer? Just above the pumps or what. Thanks
I thought about hooking my drain up to the feed but I've heard it's hard to control the amount of water entering the skimmer that way. IE I was going to "T" my drain so that about 1/4 (100 GPH) would feed the skimmer. However sometimes I adjust my return which would throw my feed out of whack.
I found it easier to mount a MJ 400 sideways right next to my drain and use that to feed the skimmer.

Has anyone tried the new needlewheels that Euroreef is using on their ASM?

Melev swapped out the old ones on his Sedra 5000 for the newer model and supposedly they chop the bubbles much smaller and draw much more air. I ordered a new one for my G2 to see how it does.
I'll post up some before and after pics once it's up.
