Want to mod you needlewheel?

Phu I will just drop by your work this week with it for ya. Gonna be out of town next week on vacation. Darnit!! ;) I have you counted as one also Titainsfan. Also local pickup is only $2 for the mesh with no "shipping and handleling" fees ;) Don't you hate S&H fee's!

I have 5 spoken for (Gary 6?) and that leaves 4 or 5 up for grabs. I cut 13 sheets from my 1 yard and was planning on keeping two back for any new members that may need a mod. I say one sheet would mod at least 5 pumps as I only used a tiny corner of my sheet.

Also put your screen name in the PP payment because I am just guessing who 2 of you guys are :). Or better yet your address to mail it to and your screen name in the special instruction box to save having to PM me. I will drop the confermed in the mail in the morning. Thanks for helping ease the cost of getting this stuff guys!

If you've got an extra sheet, go ahead and hold onto it for me. Never know when I might need to mod something:). Thanks for the info on the 9000's.
 
Got the mesh! thank you so much ... i will let you know how it turns out after this weekend. Oh yeah, thank you so much for the zip ties too!
 
Is the Needlewheel skimmer mod? I've been thinking about doing something to try and get a bit more out of my EuroReef CS6-1 with the Sedra 3500. Wonder if this would do it? What pumps are you guys modding with this stuff?

Edit: Sorry, re-read your link, Angela, and answered my own question. Still would like to know what pumps ya'll are modding and what success you're having. I have an extra Sedra impeller that I wouldn't mind chopping up if it would help.
 
Wow That was fast but you are kinda local! Glad it got there fine. I used fishing line but I see people doing it with zip ties all the time also and had a ton of em.

I have the sedra 5000. I know the sedra pumps all the way up to but not the 9000's get a big boost. Phu has his mesh and is modding a oceanrunner??( maybe ) this weekend. I think the ASM's which people all seem to mod are sedra pumps. There is another real long read called ASM skimmer club. I will try to find it...

Here it is, talk about long but some good info in there if you have the time!

Hmmm, Now I am pulling too much air!! :( I had to put a air valve on and tighten it all the way down and I am still getting so many bubbles they compleatley fill the skimmer body so full they overflow into the gate valve and out to the main tank. If only I had room to make the skimmer body taller this skimmer would pull some seriouse stuff! Its a bubble storm but just to many. I think if I take off a layer of enkamat it will not pull so much air. Lets hope so. Hindsite says I shouldn't have drilled out the air intake untill I saw how much more air it pulled stock. I also did the recirculating mod so I bet its just to much to keep reprocessing the same bubbles over and over. Looks like I will be spending the day tommorow reading on how to decrease the bubbles now!!
 
Hello Angela,

Do you still have any sheets of the Enkamat left? If so, please PM me and I will Paypal some $$ to you.

I am getting ready to start a 90 mixed reef with a 40 gallon sump. I have an ASM G3 and would like to hot rod this thing before I get the system installed. I have the whole system set-up in the garage de-bugging everything before I move it into the house.
 
If you need a little piece, I'm sure I could spare some. I'm just going to be doing my CSS 65.

I got a whole sheet from her earlier. :)
