Hey all,
I guess i should say its 100 LPM not LPH of air...it will accept 200 LPM without cavitating the pumps forsure. Tony, Its epoxy resins and fiberglass, built using a mould. (pics as soon as i can on the build) There is no venturi`s, though experimenting was done using venturi`s of different sizes during the wet testing. It is just an 1/2" air input line at the intake of the pump, it cavitated or burped too much when one is used with significant air input. Beverly, the total system capacity is over 1000 gal. probably a net volume running at 800 g now. Kwirky, i know id stuff the neighbors kid in there, he needs a good skimmin...the little brat. Heres some testing and tweaking.... One of the impellar mods, this one in particular created too much drag and pumps thermally shut down, as well as one using more Gutter guard.  Filling, seemed to start makiing skimmate at about half way to the top..lol.  Top down at half full, looking through an 8" neck  i was like an expecting father at this point. (its ok, im a nerd too tony  ) Bubbles size in the neck .   More pics as soon as i can. Marc.

Jason,
I wouldnt want to even guess....lets put it this way, if i tried to pay myself, it would be considered slave labour. I updated my tank thread, and included some more explanations and pics on the skimmer here on page 10. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...&pagenumber=10 I wanted to copy it over here, but was unsure if that was a waste of board resources. Marc.

I think it would be nice to have some of that over here on a board from your OWN country, and not a waste of resources at all.
