Bubble Magus NAC-6A Skimmer

[Ron99]

Yes, it's an Atman pump. the problem is that sometimes the meshwheels bind and then the impeller won't turn. Mine was very moisy and then stopped running. I temporarily removed the lock ring from the front of the pump to reduce the pressure on the impeller and it runs silently at the moment but I'll need a to swap in a good impeller so I can run it with the locking ring on.

skimmer is nice.

see you mentioned dosing pump, which one, what do you think of it?

So it has been running for 12 days and has been pulling some nice yucky stuff out of the water:



Eeewwww, smelly!



So I'd say it's working fairly well.

Sorry, missed the question. It's the Bubble Magus dosing pump but I haven't set it up yet. Looks nice and it powers up and runs on manual mode.

How long does it take to collect full cup?

[Ron99]

My tank is lightly stocked so about 6 or 7 days to fill it. It skims fairly dry.

Well I would, but getting it out of the sump is a bit of a pain. I have a used Coralife 65 I can send you

[Chase31]

thats pretty much what i have

Well, I don't have much experience with other skimmers so I can't say much whether it is a better product than other brand. I tried out the BM 160 and so far very happy with it. Although beside it is a little bit louderthan my aqua-medic, it absolutely produces more skimmage.

Here is screenshot of 3 days running on my 155Gallon tank ( you see the color is kind of dark brown because of N/P pellets)
