![]() Leaked photos show a controllable skimmer (with DC pump....duh!) and a wavemaker which looks like a ripoff of vortech. Not surprising since Jebao already took care of tunzi ripoff. Well, I can't wait for the wave maker

![]() I hope the price is better than the vortech! We need more options that are not 300.00+. I'm happy to see more companies going after the big name boys

![]() Thats sweet. I have to say that bang for the buck, Bubble Magus always impresses me. It's nice to see cheaper options out there for us reefers that can't buy the expensive stuff.

![]() Hmmmm. It does look a bit Vortech like from the pics but not sure if they will be able to sell that in the US. Ecotech have a patent on the magnetically coupled pump design like that.

![]() How long has ecotech had the pm power heads. I though but can be very wrong. THat patents were limited to 10 years

![]() Actually, after looking at the pictures again I don't think it is an Ecotech style pump. Looks like it's fully in tank, just two colours of plastic (maybe for the prototype).

you need 1. Contact time caused by A. wider Chamber or B. Taller Chamber. 2. air bubbles to be finer this will be caused be the air you are letting in and the type of wheel to chop up. 3. yes a pump will help. However if your body isnt matched to the skimmers pump then you are not doing but pushing the skimmer to overflow. And allow the skimer to be inconsistant. turning up the pump on the skimmer will not cause a increase in performance. it will help alittle but in the end if you chamber is not big to keep the bubbles going for contact time. Then you are doing Crap.
