Skimmer Thread

I thought it would be cool to post pics of your skimmer in action so all our members can see it's performance to help make a decision on what skimmer is right for their needs. Please list a brief description of the skimmer and the pros and cons of its use.

DO NOT POST UNLESS YOU HAVE PICS OF YOUR SKIMMER IN ACTION

Here is my MR-2 Dual beckett with a panworld 200PS pump running it. It's hard to say how much skimmate I get because I am always dialing it from wet to a dry foam (depending on how much i want my water polished). Running wet I get up to 60oz of light green water per day and I noticed improved water clarity. Running dry I will get about 20oz of brown/green skimmate in 2-3 days that smells the room like a dog turd in front of a fan.

Pros: Very powerful skimming that can be dialed from extremely dry to extremely wet, easy to clean, for the performance you get it is relatively cheap.

cons: noisy, uses a lot of electricity, and can de difficult to dial in at first.

I would only recommend this skimmer to the most dedicated hobbyists.
