Hi Guys, here are some pics of my new skimmer that I picked up today... I have not heard a lot about them, but i believe the aquabee pumps are good?

These are about 8 grand new I think. Not sure who brings them in now? Eurospirit used to.
 
I know they are german skimmers, there are a lot of guys using them in the states but I cant really find much info on them locally.

I have to say I am REALLY happy with mine so far, I have not seen as much skimmate production from other similarly rated skimmers yet.:thumbup:

It really makes incredibly fine bubbles in the reaction chamber, theya re so fine it looks like "pearly" hand soap...
 
Hey bud are you still running this skimmer?

I bought a A200 3x2001. Which i believe is an external skimmer. It didnt come with pumps and i would like to know how you set yours up? Intake overflow etc?
Regards

I would not set it to be fed from the overflow, I would rather opt for a feed pump, this will ensure that there the internal bubble action remains stable and wont be irregular if dirt or bigger bubbles should enter the skimmer. I use to tap off of my return to ensure stable consistent bubble action.

3 x sp2000 pumps should do the trick with a 2000lph pump to feed the skimmer I would go with sp2000 they strong and reliable.

Hey Leslie thanks for the reply, this has been boggling my mind for some time. I will have a look at the sp2000 connector (from the impellar to the elbow)I might need to modify it. However if it works i know they are super reliable and parts are always readily available.
 
I modified my skimz sm302 to take 3 x sp4000 it will require a bit of DIT but it's not impossible!
