Skimmers for Large reef tanks

[caddydaddy]

I would like to hear more about the volcano skimmers.

How much draw is the Pan world 250?

I have a dual beckett MR2 right now but thought it would take too much juice to get it to work at the level of some of these new skimmers.

Again - big vote for the Reeflo - price is right and it is wonderful. They've put it agains the RC500 and a few others - out did all.

I have a 660 gal sistem, and my Barr 5220 is running perfectly,

BTW the bigger the pump you can afford for the Barr the better performance...
It can handle really large amounts of flow...

Claudio D: what pump are you using?

 

[GMFett]

You could look at the deltec ap701. still reasonably priced...

52 watts

I wonder if that is compareable to the Reeflo?

It does have nice wattage.

My sistem runs on ONE sequence 8800, with a minfold that distributes to Skimmer, Chiller, Ocen motion and return...

Is a really big pump I know but I have that extra Pressure the guaranties that the skimmers work with a flows I estimate at 2500 to 3000 gph
