Do any of you guys know of any needlewheel pumps that come with the air induction piece and have an actual fitting for an inlet and outlet that can be used for a skimmer?

Better yet, if any of you have one of these laying around, let me know ;)
 
Sedra pumps that come with the needle wheel impeller option have the venturi tube.
I have an old one somewhere next time your out this way stop by and tell me nicely to find it for you.

Tell Brannon hey
 
I have a sedra 5000 pump that goes on an ASM G3. The impeller needs to be purchased. I purchased a new pump and realized it wasn't the pump but the impeller. So I now have two :). I'll sell it cheaper then I purchased it if anyone is interested.
 
Shhh about the plumbing, lol I know joes gonna have a fit with that one.

the air is currently being produced by an airstone attached to the main feed pump, and another airstone sitting the the drain for the recirc mod. Not doing a "bad" job, but im confident with the needlwheele pumps, it will be a major difference.
 
Copper and zinc is what makes brass right? I would hate to see you nuke your system. I think over time it will leak copper.
 
ouch. Didn't know that about brass. argh going to redo it tonight.

Thanks for the info, really appreciate it!
 
I have seen several people lose alot using fittings like that. I would remove it and get some resin that removes copper and heavy metals to be safe. Do you have corals in the tank now?
 
Cool...is that one of the skimmers made at the workshop? It looks like it will do a good job of skimming. What type of pump do you have on it now? It looks like it is getting good dry foam at the top.
 
Yeah it was made at the workshop. It turned out really nice, and so far, its working great! Right now, we have a quiet one pump and a random powerhead running it.
 
using air stones atm, one at the 300gph feed pump, another air stone at the inlet to the recirc mod, with a quietone 1000.
