You are going to need to cut them. They look like they can be replaced easily though.
 
Ahh the file is a tad too big for putfile, Can someone reccomend a free site that will host 30mb vids?
TIA
 
I would also like to be considered for any possible beta testing on a recirc model. I would have considered the BM250 already, but my skimmers must be run external (not enough room in sump after refugium and reactors). An externally run BM would be high on my list of considerations.

Hey Anthony, nice to see you hear:)


ive been watching since the first page, and will probably get one real soon. if its good enough for your tank im certain it will be fine for mine.
 
Thanks guys, I am trying photobucket now. the problem is its a 16 second video, I dont have movie maker, and cant shorten the vids down to get it at 25MB like most free servers have limits to.
We will see if photobucket allows a 30 MB vid.
 
Ok got er done. It came out darker on photobucket, But you guys can see da bubbles from da master.
That skimmate was from 24 hrs of skimming. (2.5 litres) I am seeing how long i can go without dumping it. Its getting stinky.

Now as you can see 100% doityourself it is popping at the top.
Just about where max's is.
Also sang do you use zeovit or add any addatives that could lead to the skimmer going crazy?
 
Hey Creetin, I don't use any supplements or additives at all. When I go home today, I will take apart my impellar, just to make sure I have the correct one.
 
Also make sure when you put your pump on that your reducer is not coming down and letting more water in. I found that sometimes while putting the rubber foot on that the reducer will come down or off in some occaisions. I wrapped it in teflon to keep it in place.
Also i have a correction, I had just under 2 litres of skimmate there. The whole thing probably holds 3.8 litres +- .3 litres for my error.
 
i connect toady the BM250 and start to test it.

here it's the first picture

it's work the same as my modify pump work at the begin the bubble not steady and after it's break in the bubble more steady and the water level in the skimmer body go up.
i have a lot of things to check and to review but first i will let it break in for one more day.
the first thing i check it was the air that those 2 pumps pull meantime it's between 20 l/min from my experience with the mesh material after one day it will increase .
with my gen x pump i pull 22l/min .
