[Alan]

If there are any suggestions on mods or bragging pics of your Reeftek this is the place for them. Any questions relating to this skimmer can be asked here.

 

[SIMS]

I have a TS1 on a 180l system and it works very well.

 

[Mekaeel]

ive got my ts1 on my 200l cube.found the best way to get it to perform was to raise the skimmer at this level.

Here's my TS1 in operation

 

[viper357]

My TS3 dual pump - standard with no mods.

 

[Rory]

Sheesh mekaeel you have a disco going on in your cabinet?

 

[Mekaeel]

yeah.i'll post a video with the strobes flashing

 

[Mekaeel]

was the resun pumps on the reeftek skimmers replaced with the reefoctopus OTP 1000 or OTP 500?

 

[millepora]

Neither Mekaeel. It was only the King 3 pumps that where replaced as they were the only ones that had a once off problem. They were replaced with OTP 2000 pumps. Cool

 

[Mekaeel]

thanks Andrew.jut read through your post on the Reefoctopus thread

 

[SIMS]

You guys think it's worth trying to mad the TS1 to be mesh wheel?

 

[Mekaeel]

sounds like a good idea.you do yours first and show me then i'll do it

 

[cybervic]

Don't they have needlewheel pumps already?

 

[Alan]

The mesh wheel mod works very well. The mesh wheel is what the BM comes out with standard and Bubble King are now changing over.

 

[Galibore]

Don't they have needlewheel pumps already?

Yes they do but I think Sims wants to do a mesh wheel mod. It's different to needlewheel. Don't have pics handy right now but there is a thread about it on here.

 

[SIMS]

Think I'll give it a bash this weekend....

 

[Mekaeel]

do the resun pumps also have a needlewheel?never opened mines to check

 

[Alan]

Yip i think they do Mekaeel.

 

[Mekaeel]

thanks Alan
