He is going to give it to me to try.

You already got the dreamteam in your sump!!!! Barr, Deltec and BK. We need a Seaclown in there to make all the others feel better.

and cali you need more skimmers like i need more power tools,
well actually I do need more tools, so I guess you can check out the elos...

I have the SeaClown covered with a POS Chinese BK knock off. Just need to get a NW pump to get it working.

just be careful which watch you wear to cali's house, you might end up trading it for the BK

 

[ctxmonitor]

whats the canal street special?

that's a local NYC joke. Canal street is a large street at the top of china town. "vendors" sell knock off watchs, bags, and DVD's.
you can get a rolex, LV bag, and five of the latest movies all for $50 bucks

edit: wow Dirty South, you really read the whole thread

And they suck big time. You can tell they suck from a mile away. Actually they suck beyond suck. Who buys that **** anyway. I would rather wear an old calculator watch and walk with a Duane Reade bag.:supermad:

I am definitely not gonne be wearing a PP when going to his place

 

[jhale]

well I hope the chinese Bubble Kings are not like the chinese rolex,

but the bags are another thing, unless your an expert I don't think you can tell them apart anymore.

back to skimmers...

Herman, How about a PP shell with a Rolex movement? I am going to order an aquabee for the chinese acrylic tube.

No I know the Canal Street Special by experience, I live in Miami but visit NYC, quite often. My GF has a house in the Highlands, NJ. She loves Canal street and the city, we have bought various stuff. What is the knockoff BK. As for watches i have the Daytona with a white face.

 

[jhale]

perice look for the oceanrunner 700 which is also the PH2000 20watt 500GPH.

All DAS like the deltecs work most efficiently with the airvalve positioned at the 1 o clock position. Fully open the each pump sucks 10 liters per minute resulting in slightly larger bubbles in the neck due to the turbulence and collision. With the airvalve slightly closed it produces just the right size.

After reading this by Herman I changed my airvalue on my DAS to the 1 o clock position, it was fully open before. I have been running it that way ignorantly ever since I got my DAS skimmer (like I said before I am retarded when it comes to the hardware of a reef tank). Anyway, what a difference, the bubbles became much more intense and extremely tiny (and I thought they were small before). It seems to be producing even more skimmate than it did previously, something I didn't think possible.

THANKS Herman for the good advice! :thrash:

 

[jhale]

wow I can't wait to set up the ex-2 now.

also all the snails spawned again last night, I spoke to my roommate and the elos ns-1000 had filled a cup overnight of murky stinky water she said.
I'll say one thing for the elos, it's really easy for someone who knows nothing about skimmers to empty the cup. It just lifts right off. Even shaun could do it :p

they ran this thing againest the aquabee2000 in europe, and they said same performance in air and water output. It just came to america on a skimmer called biostar. Check your local aquamedic dealer.
