Anyone have an extra skimmer I can borrow. I am trying to experiment with the biopellets and just a skimmer for the only filtration. I am doing this to try and figure out why there are varying results. There has got to be something that people are doing different than others. I just want to find out what and how to correct this because I believe this is the next generation in filtration. Anything to ease the problems of filtration.

I want to borrow one to see if skimmer size, input, air and co2 are any of the variances that can make a difference before I purchase one. I need a skimmer rated for 75-100g. Your graciousness would be appreciated and you will have participation recognition in the data.

I will be using a dual 10" x 4" reactor fed by an Eheim 1262 throttled to ensure the pellets get enough flow to keep them fluidized.

Thanks in advance...I can come to your location to pick up or meet at your convenience. I am looking forward to getting some results and settling the questions and concerns of their use...

Sorry steve, I didn't have my phone on all day and didn't see your message til just now. Your welcome to the skimmer whenever you can pick it up. I've been working on the weekends so haven't been to SA, but if your passing thru to Austin or SM, let me know and you can swing by. I think its an RS 180 with the 900 pump I believe. Its BIG enough to handle the 180.
