Anyone have pics of a Bermuda Aquatic? I'd like to see some pics in here for comparison. I know some people have them. I wonder how they are compared to Aqua C skimmers.

Bermuda Aquatics Bps-3c 2 days of dry skimming

whats that 5 days of skimmate ?

I was just thinking "I hope that's 6 hours worth" otherwise at $300 not counting the pump that goes in the total POS pile. Do these have a waste collector? If so do you have a shot of that. Depending on that and tank size/ stocking that might not be bad at all.

so here's 2 days of dry skimming with the 250
looks good right, yummy skimmate, all's good in the poop removing department. now for the bad, I fed some frozen food and a few minutes later I hear a strange noise coming from the sump. I open the doors and find the collection cup about to blow it's top. now someone please tell me these are not that sensitive. if the 250 freaks out every time I feed the tank with frozen food that will be a major problem. I have since opened the gate valve, the skimmer is producing less waste, but I feel safer with the water level lower. If I'm gone and frozen food is fed I do not have to worry about the skimmer turning into Mt. Vesuvius.

for those that notice the dish in the front is to divert the output of the skimmer, it was messing with the ATO float switch

john the skimmer looks good.
Rinse your frozen before you put it into the tank.

jhale · 05-12-2007, 10:30 AM

hey Dave, just for the record this is food I make myself, I rinse it really well before I freeze it. I'm not sure rinsing it again would do anything further.
the DAS never did this, I fed the frozen twice a day. do you think the skimmer needs to break in more or is this something you have to live with, with this skimmer?
