Markk96, what size system is that skimmer on? How is it stocked? Did you request a larger than needed skimmer?

Eric

I took that off a 200 gallon system that was a 120 gallon tank with a 100 gallon sump, the tank was full of SPS. Right now it is running on a stock tank with rock in it, until I get my new 200 gallon up in my basment wall.
 
I am very pleased with this skimmer. It is a custom JDM Technologies skimmer. 48" Tall, 8" Reaction Chamber & Processes 2000gph with dual Beckett injectors.

Silicone, plumbing fittings & valves; what a great hobby! I see the Lowes basket on the edge of your table; do you get one of those after you reach a certain purchase point? If so, they owe me one!

Do you have pic's of your set up?

My wife despises all three! However, my son could play with a bucket of fittings for weeks and never get bored.
 
My little weiner dog keeps stealing the fittings and hiding them . I should take stock in a pvc company .
This is worse than a crack habbit . This has got to be the most expensive hobbie even more expensive than my other hobbies .

I'm glad that someone started this thread, I've been wondering about what skimmer to plan on for my next system. I'm considering a ASM G6, Deltec AP1003, H&S A300 Ext, or Buble King 400 Ext. I'm sure that I want to go with a neadle wheel based skimmer.

Thinking about getting an ASM skimmer as well to run ozone. Bit of a space issue though. :p
 
a 1500g sytem and a ferrari? are you serious? i have an 85g system and an eclipse gt. lmao
have an positions available in the company lol!jk.
asnatlis- got that bk up and running yet? matter of fact, got any water in the tank yet?
 
You can't beat those dragon pumps from what I hear, do they really have a lifetime waranty on them? They are about the same price as the deltecs and as far as I can tell from pics only have one pump, ie less stuff to break. You will HAVE to let me know how you like it. Geez this hobby gets expensive quick. Ohh and Bill, are you looking to addopt? I'm 25, have a job, don't require much, perhaps the occasional drive.....well maybe that is pushing it... ride in your ferrari. I clean aquariums, have dual citizenship in Costa Rica etc... :D
 
Bill Wann,
I like the pic of the sportscar.

I am glad to see you are sucessful, and don't cut corners with the hobbies. What about he wife? does she give you any grief, as I know tanks and cars can eat up alot of free time
 
She love th ecars an dth efish , She want sto go to a larger tank when we sell th ehouse soon , Like 20k gallons . Any one want to buy a house with a 1500 gallon tank and a 300 gallon in th eloft , all equiptment included . She loves the cars , She just learned how to drive th eFerrari recenty . Whe have afew Porsches also and A mercedes M class for hauling pvc pipe and fittings .
IAm plumbing the closed loops on my tank tonight an dwill post some pics on the other thred .

Bill
