Sweet skimmer. Brent's designs are awesome, I want one myself.

Nice skimmer! I have never tried using a beckett skimmer although I do have one I should hook up and give a try - just would have to drill my sump so it is probably not going to happen anytime soon. Keep us updated on performance.

Was just over there and I have never seen clearer water in my life...

That skimmer is truly top notch.........

Hey Jim.........nice plumb job........lmao

I see that everyone is starting to lean towards Beckett agains what is heck is going on....

S'cause not all of us want to dish out five G's for a Bubble King.

Beckett's sure work good, but... Man, I'd love to have a Bubble King in my basement. You know, just to say that I had one. It's pretty fricking sweet.

Hey Jim,

What size are the two air valves on the becketts, 1/4" or 3/8"?

Jim,

I was thinking of getting a calcium reactor from the same company, how did the shipping work, out, I would imagine it is quite expensive to ship large bulky thinks like that up here.

Send a message to Medican.... They have sent a Calcium Reactor to him twice and it arrived smashed each time. I got lucky getting my skimmer in one piece.

OK that makes me feel more confident.

Kari.......1/4


trilinearmipmap........Yes it has been rough with the shipping....NOT Austin's falt, they have been very helpful....first reactor just a cardboard box(USPS)$35.00....second reacor(had me in tears:cry: )(UPS)$155.00 box reinforced with 1/8 hard board on six sides.....for the next one Austin is building a wooden crate for my ca reactor and should be here in the next couple of weeks. They have sent two others to Canada in just boxs and no problem....just bad luck for me.

Austin is a good company even Jim's has custom things on it with no extra charge.....top notch quality and workmen ship as well....I have never seen better.

The Ca reactor is of the same quality, if you look at the specs you can't get it built like that anywere. IMO its the best there is. MY GOD is it good looking as well. it even has a spot for a prob in the top so you can see what the PH is in the chambers. It also comes with a flow meter so you can just look and see what your efluent flow is. this is for there skimmers mainly there is a port on the main box for the Ca reactor to flow in and there is another port in the beckets for ozone......WAY TO COOL.....:razz:

P.S. Jim I need to come over and take better pics of the skimmer Austin wants it on there website if its ok with you?
