    Skimmer Calculator

    Skimmer Calculator

    I will be testing this soon enough, it named until a better word, a Convection Skimmer, the object was to suspend the bubbles for at least 120 seconds, and make the unit fit in a standard cabinet, which this does. its not counter current, although it does run that way it more of a water treadmill

    What is your DO!

    I need to calculate Dissolved Oxygen into the Max saturation rate of sea water, which is 13 %. I know only a few of us test for DO, most test for ORP and REDOX, so if you test for DO please let me know your DO values, and your ph, orp, redox and whether or not you are skimming, and type/model...

    Skimmer Calculator

    a lot of the thanks goes to mojo reef, he gave me a pair of air stones and I began my quest for a proper design, coupled with and escobar rules and this publish work I attached, I was able to find all the equations, between the two. I'm a bit ADD, so if every thing is jumbled, and not correctly...

    Skimmer Calculator

    Re-designing a skimmer and tweaking them took all my math skills, so I made a calculator to engineer one properly from the start, note the dwell time of a bubble is in liquefaction, air water mixture, not timed in the foam area, although a bubble may rise correctly under 120 seconds, It is only...

    The Skimming beast is dead....Long live beast ver 2

    mike have you heard of anyone using glass to make the skimmer, I know my plexi tanks are worthless when it comes to cleaning.

    The Skimming beast is dead....Long live beast ver 2

    Mike on a square tube skimmer couldnt you use a magnet cleaner? and on the same note if the skimmer was made in glass, wouldnt it stay cleaner longer?

    update installed the mag 18 in tank with 1 1/2 flex hose to 2 Sea swirls, not happy with the set up, the SS are blocking the lights and the not producing enough current, even with the mag 12 in the sump, (this would have been upgraged to a mag 18 also but the overflow is maxed with the mag 12...

    The Skimming beast is dead....Long live beast ver 2

    I realize it would disapate some of the foam, but at a certain point it would level off and it would be a matter of foam production (increased air) vs cleaning. I run one system with a pig, but its complicated and expencive for mass marketing. the other is a spray bar that rises, again expencive...

    The Skimming beast is dead....Long live beast ver 2

    how much flow can /did you ever put through your wet neck? could you have a flow of 2-3k gal per hour, Ie... the line in would be a wet neck, it might clean itself with this much flow.... if the current keped the air from rising, all it would need is to increase the air presure. what do you...

    The MAD Scientist Way of Reefing

    well the light came in, I retofited the CSL ballast to T5, this was easy, the 65w CSL powered the 54w T5 lights without any glitches, from a 8 Compact lights to 6 T5 with just a little more light but 130w of savings, I ended up stagering the bulbs to cram them in, well see how the tank runs on...

    tank to withstand quake

    after 1 hour the neoprene will compact,leaving you no better off, the plywood is for floors that ae soft when walking on them, your tank moves, not a good sign. at 55 gal ataching it to a stud is fine, but having a lip on the base is more important then. As for seams earth quakes dont cause...
