Box Skimmer Design

[SuperFudge]

Hey Chin,

I think the problem lies in that you would have to push water through it too fast to prevent bubbles from joining underneath the baffle plates, sort of defeating the purpose of your mod.
I bet if you simply converted your original beckett to recirculating, you would be most suprised at its stability and consistancy.
It was night and day for mine.

Looks damn cool tho .

I think for this to work good, you might have to make it a recirc style skimmer and reduce the baffels to 2 or 3. I am not getting a couple things from the picture (could be that I was up drinking to lait last night though ) but where exactly does the beckett go, where does the overflow of water back to the tank go?

I would look at this designe as a low flow high recirc type set up where you are pushing say 600gph through it with one pump, and then have 1 or two other pumps powwering twin becketts or needle wheels.
