cklskypilot Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I HAVE A LARGE DUEL BECKET SKIMMER FOR TRADE . IT WAS CUSTOM MADE AND IS GOOD UP TO A 900 GAL TANK. THERE ARE NO PUMPS WITH IT. I BOUGHT IT USED AND PLAN ON USING IT FOR TRADE... WILL TRADE FOR CORALS. THANK YOU SIN. CHUCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 What are you looking for in trade, and what kind of pump would one need to invest in to get it going? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cklskypilot Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 THIS SKIMMER HAS A Y SET INTO THE INPUT LINE SO THAT YOU COULD USE ONE PUMP AT THIS TIME. I THINK THAT THE PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE AT LEASE 1800 GPH.. OR 2 800 GPH PUMPS.. AS FOR THE CORALS I AM INTO COLOR ZOA, TORT, FIVIA, MONTI, ACANS, SCOLY, CHALICE JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE.. THANK YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU I really dont think a 1800GPH pump would even make a sniff at a beckett skimmer rated at 900 G. I think at a mininum a Reeflo Hammerhead (5600GPH) would be needed. Maybe even something bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cklskypilot Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 YOUR RIGHT THIS TYPE OF SKIMMER TAKES A LOT OF WATER MOVEMENT AS-IN GPH. I CANT FIND IT BUT I HAVE A DOWN LOAD THAT PAT FROM SALTWATER FANTASEAS GAVE ME. AND ALLTHOUGH THIS ONE IS CUST MADE THE DOWN LOAD WAS JUST ABOUT THE SAME SIZE... AND LOOK THE SAME. THE COST WAS AROUND 700.00 DOLLARS HOLE SALE AND 1200.00 RETAIL BUT THAT WAS WITH THE PUMP... AND WAS GOOD FOR A 900+ GAL TANK. I THINK THIS IS RIGHT BUT I AM GETTING OLD AND AM ON SOME MED'S WELL OFF TO THE HOST. I GO THEY WANT SOME BLOOD THATS 3 DAYS IN A ROW. THOSE GUYS ARE GOING TO BLEED ME DRY....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
