Bubble Magus BM180-CS Skimmer Reveiw

[H2o2]

Maybe just me but I see the bubble diffuser has a portion not drilled in the when its new picture that is right above the pump mounting hole and when you put it together you have the diffuser holes right above the pump outlet wont that cause some more turbulance inside the body that maybe shouldnt be there. Maybe just me?

So its been just over a week of running this skimmer. Im still trying to find the skimmer sweet spot tho. It is still skimming a bit on the wet side. Im gonna try running it in 8 1/2" of water this weekend and see how that works. I am still very impressed with the power of this pump! nothing gets by it plus it is silent!! Compared to the nac7 this skimmer has improved my water clarity ten fold

So the skimmer is now been running in 8 1/2" of water since sunday afternoon. So far so good! its skimming a bit on the wet side but I turned it down a little bit and emptied the skimmer cup and will update in 24hrs.

Cheers

24hrs at 8 1/2"

the skimmer is performing great but im still not getting that thick stinky foam that i like so much lol I was trying to think why in comparison with the nac7 i am not getting it. The nac7 had a mesh wheel impeller compared to the 180s needle impeller. I am thinking of doing the mod but do not want to attempt it without any spare parts for the aquabee lol just in case cause I am know to breeak things with my stone hands lol. I am only doing this mod out of personal preferance.

Cheers
Ray

Just a side note, a mesh wheel is available it is an option from Bubble magus

Just ask your retailer for one.
