The 'chick' with the Big Becketts
After reading through this entire thread and learning that the skimmer is the most important piece of equipment on a reef tank, I jumped on the chance to get an MRC2 dual beckett skimmer with a Gen X 55 pump when I was this one posted for sale.
After much resealing of minor leaks and redoing my plumbing to fit this skimmer, I finally have it up and running.
My skimmer is in the room next to my tank which makes cleaning it much easier, plus it wouldn't fit under my stand & in my sump anyway...and I don't have to listen to that oh not so quiet pump with it being there.

Would like to thank JH for answering questions in the middle of the night when I couldn't get this hooked up, and Rich Jackson for the helpful info on the becketts (yes, they both are working now ) and Slama for the bazillion answers and holding my hand through it all.

Now I need to know - does it look like it's running right?

Forgot to ask this ...I'm curious to know if it makes any difference or affects the way the skimmer operates the way I have the piping plumbed above the injectors?

I tried to research this & looked at the way other folks have them hooked up, but I'm not clear on this point. Anyone know?
