is it possible to gravity feed a beckett? i attemped to a DIY beckett and im using an internal pump rated at about 700-900gph a quite one i was wondering lookin at the flow is it possilbe to gravity feed it from a drain pipe? because it doenst look like the pump work faster then the drains?

the beckett is creating alot of foam and i just adjusted the foam to be right under the collection cup bottom neck been runnin for about an hour

but no collection action yet mabe gotta break it in? or im just not sure how a beckett really works, i built it to replicate PM bullets and ect

mabe it not set right i can keep tryin but any info on becketts will help so i dont waste my time waitin for a setting thats not right and trial and error it for weeks :tongue1: lols thanks if this works imma attemp a bigger one

but it sure looks like it produce alot more then the recirculing skimmer -=P
