I-Tech Skimmer Club .

I think I have the level inside the skimmer figured out now. This is 24 hours worth. There is enough in the huge collection cup to fill my old skimmer. And it would have taken my old skimmer a week to produce this much/thick skimmate.

I'm in the club, ordered mine and it will be here next Wednesday.

here is a video i took last night of the large with laguna 1500 pump.you can hear that it is very quiet and see it has a nice stable foam head.i borrowed a meter that goes to 25 lpm and it pulls it off the scale so im not sure on the air draw until i borrow a larger meter.



here are a coulpe of pics before i emptied the cup,thos is 3 days worth on my 60g BB system(lightly stocked)

Hey Leone104 which size skimmer did you get, also which pump? Thanks in advance

 

[laserjim]

So what size would I need for a 125 FOWLR? How much would that bad boy set me back? Thanks for the info please

The 300 Rubbermaid reef is no more and everything, including the skimmer is now part of the 300 Marineland. I built a stand for the skimmer from 1/2" pvc and eggcrate and put it in the sump.

I got the small one w/out the pump, i'll try a Sedra that i have and see how it works.. If not i'll be in the market for a new pump..

Thanks...

What are the dimensions on the small one? How much is the small one? I wonder if the pump from my DAS EX-1 would be good enough to run the small one.

Also interested.

Small Cone Physical dimensions are 22" in height with a footprint of 8 1/2" x 6 1/4". An extra 3/8" clearance is needed for collection cup removal.

I understand that doesn't include the pump, but what about the outlet?

 

[trmiv]

Thanks. How much is the small without the pump? Did they recommend a certain amount of air the pump should put out to work with the small?

 

[leonel04]

No info on the outlet, i never got into details about it. A cone skimmer for $200, you can't beat that......

 

[leonel04]

Even if you buy a $300 pump for it, still a grat deal...

 

[trmiv]

Wow that's a great price, I may have to order one of these. I'm sure the pump from my DAS would be sufficient if I can figure out how to hook it up without making it unusable on the DAS again.

Can someone provide a link to these skimmers. I searched on google and was unable to find them.

 

[lanxang]

that is a good price, put a sicce pump for another 150.00 (w/shipping) and you've got a cone skimmer for 350.00.

What do you guys think of the rating, tank wise for the small?

Agreed, I'd imagine a pinwheel sicce with a cone skimmer to be good up to 150-200gal on a decently stocked system.

You will not find the skimmers here, but use the contact info and John will fill you in.
