:lol: Id have that in front of the tank.

Looking good. I thought the 300 had 2 telescoping returns. I've had my 250 ext over a year now and it runs flawlessly.

 

[gcarroll]

Very nice! I hope it does everything that you want from it. What is the diameter of the main tube?

I always have problem with PO4, it reads 0.6 for more than two months. This is real test for the BK.

Greg, you meant the main body of the skimmer or the outlet?

How does it compare to the ATI you were testing earlier?

Loc

can't compare, just like comparing Roll Royce and Mercedez. I would say BK is my choice, ATI would be fair if compare with H&S or Deltec. I have never run Deltec nor H&S, will do one day soon.
