Bubble Magus NAC6A mini-review: first impressions

[banditpowdercoat]

I think your fine.Few things.

Mesh wheels do wear out fairly fast. It's why most manufactures do not use them. Pinwheel's, although not as good at chopping the bubbles, last a heck of alot longer.

The skimmate production will vary. You may well be at equilibrium with what your tank produces and what your skimmer is taking out. You really can not have to large of a skimmer. A larger skimmer will just seem like it doesnt skim as much, as it is acctually pulling more out, and when there is no gunk to pullout, theres no gunk. A undersized skimmer will acctually pull lots,all the time, as it can not keep up and there is allways gunk in the tank to pull out.

I never could read Chinese, but if it has an acrylic bottom, that extra piece of acrylic is most likely a coral viewer/camera boat for top down viewing or taking photographs into your saltwater aquarium.

Nope, it's just an acrylic hoop! Wider than the neck but not as wide as the body... hmmm.....

Ring for a filter sock maybe, on the output?

I hear ya, but the water outlet is on the bottom, nowhere near where a filter sock could go! Not trying to be an a**, I just can't figure out what the hell it's for and it keeps me wondering if I'm missing something important.

If your still interested, someone translated the writing, and it's a stand.
The ring is intended to go under the skimmer if your water level is too high for the skimmer to function.

How is the skimmer doing lately?

oh, thanks, that thought had crossed my mind but I thought there was no way I could be right about that! The skimmer is about the same as the last post, by the way. I've come to the conclusion that I hate skimmers - or maybe I hate myself! Every skimmer I've ever owned I spend all my time wondering if another one would be better and then when I get it I'm always excited at first and disappointed before long. And then shortly after that, I'm looking for a new skimmer again! Aaaarrrgghhh! Yeah, the problem is definitely me, I'm the same way with cars, stereo equipment, and computers.
