Re: Alpha 300 Users!
My new Alpha 300 will be here tomorrow. I will get some pics posted soon as it here. Also I have never used any skimmers other than beckett style. With that being said I am eager to see if this skimmer performs better than my old skimmer.

So far I am very please with the Alpha 300. It has been 24 hours and it is already building a nice foam head. The skimmer seems very strong and durable. Super easy to put together. The Red Dragon pumps are super quiet compared to my reeflo hammerhead. The only thing so far I dont like is the o ring and screw on collection cup. When I took the collection cup off the o ring was all twisted up and strectched out really bad. So bad that when I went to put it back in the o ring groove it was about 3 inches to long. So I will need another o ring or maybe a few for spares. I can see how this would be a problem with the screw on collection cup. Other than that I have no complaints. Price was not super high like some skimmers and I am saving a bunch on electricity.
I will post some better quality video later.

Guys, I have an Alpha 200 Demo model that is available if anyone is interested. The skimmer is in absolutely perfect condition, and returned by a customer who used it for approximately 2-3 weeks. As you can see, the skimmer looks as it's in brand new condition.
The photo below is of the skimmer running in 8" of sump depth, with a confirmed air intake reading of 1900LPH at this depth. This photo was taken exactly 1hr after putting it in the sump and turning it on.
Regular Price: $749.99 Delivered
DEMO PRICE: $649.99 DELIVERED
Please email me directly at jeremy@premiumaquatics.com if interested, or call 317-895-9005.

Hey Orr2003...
What nozzles are you using on your RD's?¿ I changed the large one in one of the pumps.. the second one I left like it arrived.. that way I could see which nozzle works better... or what pump has a better performance..
The 300 I bought is running at around 10" deep... and I dont put the red tubing (ozone tubing)
Greetings!!
P.D. Im waiting for another alpha 200 that it will be in Mexico City soon!!

Only got a chance to test my 300 in a temp sump, running about 10" of water and dumped in a bunch of waste collected from my H&S. I only have a kill-a-watt meter and it's measuring 40 watt on one pump and 46 on another. Don't have an air meter to see how much air the pump are pulling.
