the life of Asmodeus's skimmers

the Dual Beckett again OMG Im on glue



Hey, that dual Beckett looks similar to mine, which I inherited with my SW tank and house that we bought. What is yours called? Never been able to figure out the brand name of mine. Here is a pic. I am only running one Beckett on mine right now (other tube closed off), as my pump is not powerful enough for both. But it can skim a couple cups a day wet right now, depending on how I have it dialed.

Yeah, I had sent them a pic of mine, last year, but they said it wasn't theirs... It seems to be the closest that I have found so far. Mine is not recirculating, but does have a pretty high main chamber, about 32 inches altogether.

I only have a 100g tank running on it now, so more than enough skim power for now.

Wheres the ATB? One of the best skimmers I've heard along with BK and Deltec

Where's your bubble magus?

Haha, i think it's safe to say you have a skimmer addiction. you might want to try crack, it'd probably be cheaper :S.

I have the ATI BM250 right now, how would you compare it to others you ran at that time? I feel that mines doing a decent job, just haven't had anything to compare it to. Not sure if I'd be better off trading it up.

the BM 250 I loved that skimmer tHat got me going on that skimmer addiction. the only thing that i hated about the BM as the sicci pumps i even bought 2 new ones and they gave me grieve so i sold it. I would like to get one and put 2 Bubble blaster 5000's on there and fire it up. i liked the wide neck too for a more wetter skim mate too.

what makes the ATB any gold is the pump I believe its the Askoll pump on there right. other then that the plastic is no beter then any othe skimmer or the parts. take the BM 220 cone cheap made and yet they have it with the ehiem pump, however that is what that skimmer has going for it. Is the Ehiem.

I agree with that, restart isn't even an option, it's just how many times i need to pull the impeller housing off to get it going again

thats type of design you could easily put a couple of smaller pumps and rock that skimmer like 2 ehiems would do good too
