Need Sedra 5000 needle wheel pump

[Steve1714]

If any body has or can get a Sedra 5000 with the needle wheel kit and intake venturi, and you are in SoCal. I need one to improve/modify my old skimmer. Willing to trade SPS corals, or pay cash if reasonable. To see what corals i have just click the red house above.
thanks

Thanks Yinger

np steve, I've been to your place a couple times with my gf. Have you stocked the new system yet? It looks good on the website.

 

[Steve1714]

I hope to start Cycling it tomorrow, I got the 150gal QT setup running and cycled, I hooked up one of the 40gal surge buckets on the main system and you wouldn't believe the flow $@!% it will literally pick up a frag and send it flying 4-5' down stream. I will need to work on slowing it down some. My plan is to run every coral through QT to remove all unwanted plants and critters so that this system has nothing to stop or compete with the corals growth. I should have some test/hearty corals in it by mid Oct.
SCMAS is planning a tank tour for the 21 (I think), I should be one of the stops on the list

haha, i'm not surprised that it went 4-5 feet. THose penductors are freakin huge.

 

[Steve1714]

Its like a perfect storm when both the 1 1/2" Eductor is on and the 2" surge bucket blows out. The flow of water into the tank challenges all four 2" overflows and a 5th 2" overflow that feeds the skimmer, it surges for about 40 seconds and the level in the tank rises 1/2" hitting the cross supports!

 

[Yinger]

geez... i'm sure the corals will love it. Just gotta figure out where to place the corals. Probably not within a few feet of the educators.

Steve,
I have one, but I am not local. I can send it to you Priority. I was going to make a dual recirc. but decided to make it a Becket injected NW recirc. so I have one S5000 left over.

LMK I can get it out today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the offer AZreefkeeper but rykwong and yinger stopped by and we traded SPS frags for his extra Sedra.
The skimmer is quite large so it may take three to get proper bubble contact time. I will contact you first if it looks like i may need another

 

[Steve1714]

thanks again Yinger i hope all the corals doo well for you
