I'm new to the club and I'm really tempted into buying a BK! From all the pictures I see in the forum, I'm sold! Haha. Which model would you recommend with a 180 with a fairly heavy bioload? I don't want to get the wrong size and regret it. Thanks for all the help in advance!

Thanks! That does help. Do you also have pics of how the airline is connected to the skimmer itself?

 

[jtarmitage]

You connect the airline of your skimmer to the flowmeter, and that should already be connected!:lol:

 

[tbone28]

JT, I'm not smart like you Sacto boyz

 

[jtarmitage]

:lol: Hey, I resemble that remark!

No sweat, if you had the flow meter in hand, you'd figure it out pretty quick. I've got a flow meter that came with my AO Ca-Rx, and it's pretty simple.

 

[tbone28]

Roseville, Sacto - close enough!! You're a Sacto boy, even though it's still kinda far from Sacto. I have to drive up to Roseville for work sometimes, too.

Anyway, so I think I got it now. I pull the airline that goes into the skimmer (on my SM, it's hooked up to my standpipe), and plug it into that brass valve in Mavgi's pics, right?

I think I deserve a *pat on the back*

 

[jtarmitage]

I said resemble, not resent.

Yep, if you're just using it temporarily to get a reading, just pull the airline out of the silencer and plug it into the meter.

 

[tbone28]

LOL, gotcha, my Engrish not too good this morning. Yeah, I think you're smart like mark and jim

OK, I think I finally got it about the Dwyer and ready to order. I just want temporary readings.

My 1st 24 hours of skimming....

 

[Jar*Head]

Ok, i am ordering the BK500ext just for the heck of it... I like to see how big it is in person

 

[Waxxiemann]

awesome.

 

[cbui2]

steve you can fit in it

 

[Jar*Head]

I'll find room for it. I think my garage is large enough for the 500ext....

 

[tbone28]

Dang, Steve. That is insane! Your wife will have to park the car outside now, cuz that skimmer will take up the other half of the garage

What are you doing with the 400 Ext?

 

[Jar*Head]

I am not sure yet. But i know Joe (KEEPERZ) in Vegas will be more than happy to pick it up ....

 

[tbone28]

didn't he sell a 300 a while back? I think I remember seeing his posts about the same time I was looking for my BK
