    Default Beckett 1408

    Does anyone know where I can find a Beckett 1408 foam head for a protien skimmer, besides E-BAY is there a manufaturer or supplier that these can be ordered from? I have tried looking up Beckett but nothing comes up for the part I am looking for. http://cgi.ebay.com/Beckett-1408-Foa...QQcmdZViewItem

    $5 a pop is way less than I paid....I'd buy 'em.

    I'm making about a skimmer a year....it's my new high production philosophy. Soon I'll be going to a skimmer/decade. I still have a handful of becketts. I've made a few needlewheel skimmers that are good for small tanks. I have thought about using a beckett (or mazzai) injector as a venturi on a needlewheel skimmer, but I'm way too busy to build anything like that until the summer. Plus, I have a small tank so my little needlewheel (like a ER CS135) is already too big and is on a 12 hr timer, so I'm not too motivated to design new skimmers. I just helped Felipe set up his new prop system, and the first big dual beckett I made is on that system; it works great. Tough to beat a good beckett skimmer for large tanks, IMO.

    Just curious since you guys are talking beckett skimmers. I've been pulled to the dark side with the new tank I'm picking up and it has a dual beckett. How often should I pull the injectors out and clean them?

    When I had my beckett, I cleaned it once a month.
