    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Ok, here is a "draft" of the bracket. I'm open to suggestions and there might be a little tweaking done here and there. Especially for presentation :). But here is the first look.

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    I was wondering the same thing as Gary and Heinz. Hopefully someone w/ some insight into this can inform us all. I've always been under the assumption that 220v is more effecient than 110v. Is that a likely cause for both these different pumps drawing more wattage? BTW, Dave sent me the...

    Heinz, Dave doesn't have the new Deltec yet. It's still the first one

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Hi Kevin, about the "resting period". I thought about this too but I don't know how much that is needed. Since we are working under the throught that the more powerful/stronger skimmer will out compete the other, then it may not matter that the tank has been "overskimmed". I think the outcome...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Tony, Dave's website is www.o2manyfish.com I think he has info about his tanks there. His site hasn't been updated in a while but neither has his tanks :) madison

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    The "test" tank is plumbed into his whole system. I understand what you mean about having the skimmers "seated" properly in the brackets so that hopefully the 2nd best skimmer isn't knocked out of round one and we don't know that it is the 2nd best skimmer. I am trying to make the brackets...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    edgerat, your points are very well taken and I agree with you. Maybe if these high dollar skimmers do win easily, Dave and I could take an extra week or two and compare the more affordable/common skimmers so that this comparison hopefully benefits everyone equally. Dave, what do you think?

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    First, RC does know about this thread. They are glad that the comparison is still going to happen. As for the chart/results: Here's the way I understand it and I believe Dave feels the same way. When you run multiple skimmers on the same system (2 or more) then at some point the weaker...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Heinz, the 850 arrived cracked at the outlet joint. I think Dave said in a previous post that because of availability Doug was going to send the ap 902.

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Todd, the Bubble King is breaking in right now. I don't know how long it will take. Usually it takes about 10 days. This skimmer was broken in on another tank before I put it in Dave's but it was partially cleaned w/ RO water. I don't know how much that will negate the first break in. I...
