Hello,

Next time, put the silencer on the Bullet-3, listen to it. Then grab the bullet with you fist, and compare the difference in sound reduction.

Darren, I am following this close. Looking at a larger skimmer. My Euroreef likely wont keep up with 359 gals.

Was thinking of having Jayson build me a large Beckett. Cant build a sump divider myself. :D

Dont be telling me how noisy they are. Not what I need. Once Marc,s pump, replaces my 3MD, I have a pretty quiet system for a 180, 170 and large sump, in the same room. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I also was interested in driving the beckett with my 3MD. So your idea looks interesting. How big is that bullet. I dont see it on your page.

Doug I run a bullet 3.

I did make some mistakes with the design. I made the holes for the "showerhead" too big. I am going to make another one which I can take apart and start small with the number and size of the holes.

It was absolutely silent. I had my ear right next to the air intake and I could barely hear it. As an FYI.

Becketts can't compete for quietness with this thing. Honest. I have heard PM's, and DIY becketts. Nothing is as quiet as this.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">yes Doug the Becket made a lot of noice witout silencer the amount of air suck in the 1/4 inch tube is immence so it made noise

As for the 3 MD I try mine and it made half the foam of my mag 18 even my old 5 md was not enought those becket run great but need WATER to do it

In fact the 5 md who is a pressure rated pump but dont have a big flow was even worst than the 3mdqxsc who is a non pressure pump.

IMO you are going to be disapoint by a becket run
on a litle giant
