this is the reason for the noise and the cavatating of the pump . since it's new and if the impeller is not good change it . but you can fix the mesh top and diameter the dings will disappear.

I change on my skimmer the mesh type and i put 3 layer on each pump the skimmer pull now 35LPM = 2150 LPH (normal 1800 LPH) .
this skimmer perform very well without any mod .




about the BM200 3-gen , the foam level very low and by add to it gate valve + 3 layer of mesh the skimmer will rock .

here it's a picture for BM200 3 - gen and it's belong to ED from Kmaintl (i think you know him he his a dealer of the ATI skimmer to and have a lot experience with skimmer i can said that he is professional ) :

This is what he get every 4-5 days on his Bm200 on his 100 gallon tank .

Mavgi has a LE BM250. Ronen, is you'rs foaming yet?

[mavgi]

i change the mesh and put 3 layer on each pump .

my skimnmer pull now 35LPM = 2150LPH (normal 1800LPH)

this skimmer can perform very well with out any mod and after a month of working the result will be realy nice and good.

the new gen-3 of the BM200 have a low foam level but if you mod it with a gate valve and put 3 layer the skimmer work well .

here it's picture of BM200 that belong to ED from Kaimintl (he is ATI dealer , professional and have a lot experience with skimmers ) this is what he got every 4 -5 days :

asm g2? good or bad? does it make alot of noise?

[heuerfan]

I just picked up my BM200 (generation3), thanks Ronen I gave it a warm bath overnight with a little vinegar, not very much. I couldn't wait to put it in my sump. When i first placed it in, i could not get the water level in the collection cup to go lower. My sump level is 10". I decided to give the skimmer a lift and added a 4" acrylic napkin holder, that did the trick. I can adjust the water level high or low now with the gate valve. I'm assuming i'm going to have a long break in period because i didn't give it a good bath but i couldn't wait




Thanks,
Steven
