:thumbsup: I have a new dwyer on the way as mine maxes out at 50 SCFM. I look forward to seeing it in action on the 250.

 

[wizsmaster]

where do you guys get the dwyers ? Someone please send me a link to order online. I keep forgetting to call them during business hours. At this pace i may have one in a few years.

Multiple types. RMA and RMB are the most common ones you'll see used here.

Wow that skimmer looks awesome.

I have two little question my friend JrAquatics, why did you day that you are still running the pump that comes with the skimmer, is there another pump for these skimmers ??
And the impeller could fit in the 250 skimmer, I think is the same pump but I don´t have the mod of the bigger cup, do I need it to use this impeller ?, becase I could be very interested in have it and test it and in 2 weeks I will be in USA, so I can receive it there.

 

[JRaquatics]

I suggest the RMB for skimmers that pull massive air like these.
Something like the RMB-53D-SSV or RMB-54D-SSV were they read both SCFH and LPM.

 

[wizsmaster]

yes, there is another pump available.
The default pump that ships with the skimmer is a AO Smith backend (motor) - the upgraded pump has a Baldor motor - quieter, cooler running, less wattage, and I believe has more tq ?

Yes the impeller will fit a 250 as well.

You mean the other pump is the Gold Orca pump, right ?, I will have that one and I am receiving my skimmer this monday, I am more than excited jejeje

The impeller don´t fit in the Gold pump ?

 

[wizsmaster]

yes, other pump (baldor) is the "gold" pump. You will like it.

The impeller should most definitively fit the Gold pump, as the front end/wet housing of the pump is the same. Just the motor has been changed out.

Thank you a lot for answer me wizsmaster, so do you recommend me the new impeller also if not have the big cup mod in my 250 skimmer ?

 

[wizsmaster]

That I do not know - I am unable to answer that question.
I would suggest emailing Mike @ Reef Specialty and asking him that directly. He is the one that is the seller of both products, and would be the most knowledgeable and qualified to answer the question.

 

[mariocaz]

Okidoki yes you are right and I will do that.

 

[JRaquatics]

Wizsmaster, Is it true?

Yes, That was my way of saying Welcome back to the club.

 

[mariocaz]

Jejeje ok JRaquatics!!

 

[mariocaz]

And do you know something about to use the impeller mod without the cup mod in the gold orca pump in a 250 skimmer ?

 

[JRaquatics]

No matter what pump you have you need the upgrade cup. If you didn't have the cup the skimmer would overflow for sure.
