    Easiest way to run carbon

    If you have a sump, look for a fluidized Reactor - Phosban, LifeGaurd, Deltec. They use a small pump and are the most efficient means of carbon use. They all 3 work on the same principal, just have different mechanisms for getting the media in and out with varying degress of effort. Dave B

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    DgasMD, Called Frank this morning, he was a little wary apparently a company tried a comparison with only 4 skimmers and after a year, never published the results and disappeared with his skimmer. He is on vacation at the moment, and is due back next week. I sent him some information. If...

    Hey Guys, Here are the Model Numbers -- In an effort of fairness I would love it if someone not involved would gather all the stats for the different model skimmers.... Invincible this could be a great Internet Search project for you. I have not been able to confirm an H&S Skimmer yet...

    Okay Folks..... For anyone that might have challenged my ability to be fair with this comparison.... The Deltec Eheim, which is said to consume only 40w of power is WRONG !!! 58w going to the Deltec... Hey Doug what's the story man, someone in Germany have a problem converting metric to...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Hey Folks, Solved 1 problem today -- Spent some money and bought a really nice Watt Meter. Digital - Accurate to a 1/10 of a watt. Will post some photos later today. Also allows you to enter a utility rate and will tell you the cost per year to operate.... Anemone, as far as the...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Kevin, Given the mass of water, unless we get fire season, not much else affect the system. Rain -- If we get an inch of rain that's about 15g of water with the surface area. On a cold day like yesterday I still evaporated more than that amount - So dilution not an issue. As for...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Ken, I have an amp-meter clamp - But some of these skimmers are drawing less than 1/2 a watt. At that kind of level I don't think a 200amp meter is going to be sensitive enough-- If I am wrong about this plese let me know. Dave B

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    One of the interesting things that came up in a conversation is Skimmers and Pod. Adelaide, of Essential Live Feeds, (whom everyone should hit up to become an RF sponsor !!!) topped off my system with some pods a couple of weeks ago when she was down for the big Frag Swap. My pod population...

    Ozone

    The lung burning is not really an issue.... a) If you can smell the ozone, then you are not using the ozone, so you need to figure out how so much excess is escaping your skimmer. b) You can smell ozone - Smells like lightning. If your ozone is high enough to smell, then you will get a...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    It's funny how people each see different things which are important to them for comparison. For me one of the key factors is power consumption. My buddy XtremeAquatics.com / Carlos runs an 8' Tall Beckett Skimmer. And he has to run a 3/4hp pump to get it to really perform. I for the past 2...
