    reeffan, have you had time to setup your new skimmer or are you still waiting on the stones? Peace, John H.

    donw, The 36db should be fairly well muffled in a solid stand. Like edgerat said, 60 db is about where normal conversation at 3 to 5 ft is (I know bad grammar, so shoot me!). :) Think of 40 db as a day in a fairly quiet residential neighborhood. Stuff is going on, but you most likely won't...

    Hey all, I've been searching around for the perfect pump and I think I got pretty close. It is called the alita linear air pump and it is supposedly comparable to the sweetwater II linear air pumps, but they are slightly cheaper. You can get the alita 40lpm at webbsonline for 194.95 with...

    I think the the one problem with air compressors is that they will throw out oil or whatever lubricant they use in them and this will clog up the airstones... not to mention kill your inhabitants. Peace, John H.

    Mojo's Airtones Clone Skimmer =)

    I was thinking about that Mike. I have a bunch of crap shoved into the bathroom that is about 7 ft. away from my tank. I was wondering if I closed the door on that, if it would be able to significantly muffle the sound from the pump. How loud would you say these whitewater pumps are? More...

    reeffan, Thanks for the update! I'd also like to know how that pump of yours sounds. I might be going the same way myself, but I'm wondering whether I'll get the pump that is supposedly very quiet... the sweetwater pumps which are mondo expensive for the same amount of PSI and air delivered...

    Thanks Mike! Sounds like it has been doing its thing. You gotta be happy when your skimmer gets to a point where it has really just scrubbed your tank clean. :) One quick question, and I'm sure this has run through your mind... you don't think the stones have gotten clogged up and that is...

    Mike, You still there? You didn't get vaporized by your skimmer did you? :)

    Mike, Now that you've been running this skimmer for awhile... how do your inhabitants look? I know this is a fairly subjective question, but have you seen any changes in things in your tank for the better/worse? Peace, John H.

    I think Dave took all his fancy skimmers and then skipped town! Haha

    Let's get an update of this sucker!!! Can you please post some dimensions and specs of the skimmer as well as the pump and the airstones?!? :) The uniseals I think are rated for up to 40 PSI, I read that somewhere, but I think that this is with the most perfect hole, and probably goes down...

    Hey redeye, I think you'll start running into problems if you are really going to try to push 120CFH through your skimmer if you are running your water level at 40". I mean, I think Mike has already found out that these stones produce a ridiculous amount of foam, so unless you are extending...

    That certainly is something worth checking out. Hehe. With a little modification, you might have a gigantic skimmer to play with... Peace, John H.

    Hey Mike, Got a quick question because I want to clarify a few things. You mentioned that you got the ultra fine pore diffuser... Now I have the 2005 aquaticeco master catalog and I only see a fine pore diffuser and a medium pore diffuser. The pics you have look like either of the two types...

    Hey Brent, Let us know how the testing goes. I'm definitely interested in the results. Peace, John H.

    Mike, Thanks for the info... Another quick question... how long does it take to fill that 7 gallon bucket? :) Peace, John H.

    Hey Mike, Any pictures of the type of skimmate you are getting from your new souped up skimmer? Peace, John H.

    Mike, Anybody close to you with a flowmeter? It'd be nice to see how much air you are really pushing into that sucker. From the looks of it, a lot!!!! :) Peace, John H.
