Skimmer Help...Aquafoamaster #2

spinnerbayt · 01/15/2008, 08:00 PM

I was given this skimmer and I don't know much about it. First of all I need pump recomendations and then any insite you can give me on this skimmer. I want to use it on my 110g that I just upgraded to as my Coralife 65 just isn't big enough for my new tank. Any help would be great.

Someone has to know of a pump that would work with this skimmer....anyone?

chrissreef · 01/16/2008, 10:15 AM

is it venturi driven? if so, maybe a mag 7 or 9 or similar?

If it's not ventury, I dunno... hard to tell how it makes bubbles from the pic imo.

what are the dimensions of the skimmer? hight of body, diameter, height of riser, and cup size. that might help someone.

Do you ask Emperor Aquatics, they will probably send you the directions I would think. I see how to adjust the water height and where the water is injected but how about the air? Is there a hidden venturi or do need to use a pump with a venturi?

Now I see the venturi, so to speak! If you fire up this skimmer you best put a tube on the black Barb and run it up high as if you don't, guess what get wet??? You guessed it.
