Looks good. One thing I hated about my K2 was that I couldn't take it apart. I can't wait to see nog shots.
This skimmer is going on your 180?

solitude127 · 09/12/2011, 07:58 PM

Buganddoug · 09/12/2011, 08:17 PM

K2 is being cleaned and it will be up for sale.
I do have a extra PSK-2500 motor block that is new. Jon Warner gave it to me about a month ago. that will be sold with it.

pmrossetti · 09/12/2011, 08:21 PM

where can you get them?

Buganddoug · 09/12/2011, 08:48 PM

They should be coming to market any day now. I know Jon Warner personally so I got mine a head of time.
You can call Jon at Phone: (805) 584-5197 and see if he can give you more info on it.

Spaced Cowboy · 09/12/2011, 09:03 PM

What were the reasons for the change ? I've got a K2 (though it's yet to see action, still building,see my sig

), just curious ...

My K2 skim like a Big fat Pig!! I loved that skimmer It never stop pulling Nog.
Jon and I got too talking about his new skimmers some time back. I all ways told Jon I wish he maid a dual pump K2. I told Jon when he was ready send me one and I will give it a go on my 180.
My 180 has a large bio-load and we thought lets put the MF-251 on it and see how it skims.

If Jon did not come out with the Dual pump cone skimmer I would keep my K2 and be very happy with it.

Texsun · 09/13/2011, 01:10 AM

Very nice and thanks for sharing. Hoping to get the Skimz SM-161 equivalent (MF-161 I guess, lol) as soon as they are out.

Buganddoug · 09/13/2011, 10:15 AM

This skimmer with two pumps is super quite!!

Buganddoug · 09/13/2011, 03:40 PM

Greg Thank you,
It is so much better looking in person than the photos can show. It is a Beast!

solitude127 · 09/13/2011, 03:49 PM

What's the air draw difference between your old K2 and this one? Did you consider your K2 quiet?

MY K2 was very quite.
My K2 pulls 38-40 SCFH
My New skimmer for each pump pins my meter at 50 SCFH on each pump.

Trust me, I know! Here is my beast sitting next to the original prototype I tested for 8 months.

Dan, did you get the new pinwheels or the old ones? I just found out the new pinwheels arrived Wednesday.

pmrossetti · 09/13/2011, 05:15 PM

that WM is awesome

rehab · 09/13/2011, 05:24 PM

Nice skimmer. Any nog shots?

Buganddoug · 09/13/2011, 05:49 PM

Greg,
My Pinwheels are Red. Jon sent my skimmer out last Tuesday so I do not have the new pinwheels.
I think Jon told me the new ones are less aggressive.
