Need Help Calling all reefers

[janderson8]

I have been having a hard time finding the right pump for my skimmer. The only type of pump I have left to try is a pressure rated pump such as an Iwaki. The problem is I dont want to buy one just to see how it will work si I was hoping some one woulf let me try one for e week if they have one around that is extra.

Thanks in advance to all Ok reefers

What kind of skimmer is it?

It is a beckett style skimmer...

I think that we will need more details to help properly. Skimmer size, description, etc, please. Thanks!

any beckett injecter needs a pressure rated pump as it is put under quite a lot of pressure....they need to be cleaned pretty frequently(every week or every other week) to preform the best.....
also make sure the water output isint under water....

Gen X has a pressure rated pump, I can't remember if it is the PCX 40, 50 or 55, but it's one of those.

Thanks every one I know who makes the pumps I just need to try one for a week so I dont waist my money. I have a 3600 GPH Dart on it now and am thinking a smaller pressure pump would work better.

i am not sure that dart is a pressure rated pump? but 3600 GPH is probably a little bit of overkill
and would go with this or something similar ....i would think it would also be a lot quieter

Charlie,

That is exactly what I was thinking but I am wanting to try one before I drop 250 on it. So I was hoping some one had a spare around that I could use to try it with.

Thanks Again
