That is a very large skimmer. Nice work Jayson! Are you allowed to disclose the price? Now what are you going to do with that nice little Euroreef?

I am not sure if I should disclose the price. I am not sure on Titus's view. If you would like pricing and sizes feel free to contact me. Thanks for the nice comments.

How! it seem very well made from the first view this skimmer look realy well design.

Did the becket injector could be disasemble?
Wath is the size of the gate valve?
OD water colum?

Congratulation Jason very good choice he look like a my reef but you have added the swirl very good!

Hey doug put them one I can't wait to see your impression vs your euroreef :eek:

The gate valve itself is 3 inches, but the pipe of it is 2 inches. Not sure what part to measure. One honkin valve though.

Yes the beckett comes out of the silencer for easy cleaning. I also am looking foward to its operation. [img]smile.gif[/img] Comparison with my Euroreef may not be fair, as its a much larger skimmer. :eek: I will say, construction wise, its quality is as good or better than my Euroreef, which IMO, are some of the best built skimmers I have seen.

Good thick acrilic, excellent job on all the two removable sections. Undo the large thumb screws, lift and turn. After all my years playing with aquarium equipment, I am not all that easily impressed anymore, but the quality of this unit does just that. If it operates as good as it looks, then its an impressive skimmer.

I have a buyer for my Euroreef, if I sell it. Now I need to decide on the correct pump. Going to try both model 3MD pumps. I also brought a Mag 24 home. Was reading the specs last nite. That thing sucks 265 watts. :eek: Whoaaaaaaaaaaa.

The 3md and my 5md are definitivaly a not enought for mine and the becket poorly perform under them
my mag18 is a way better whit only 145 watt

your mag 24 will probably be top nutch but as alway $$$$$$$$$ :D dont forget that you have more than 300 gal of water so your more on the side of a small coral farm than a hobbist :eek: hope your wife wont see this all the time you try tell her it is normal to have 300 gal tank at home!!!
