MarkoD what type of pump are you running with your skmmer again. I know that a MAg 2400 doesn't compare to a Mak 5 or a panworld 150

yeah the beckett creates a loud hissing sound when it sucks in the air.

without the air pump it the becketts each draw 280 liters per min. and it still created foam.

but as per the manufactures recommendation for a 12" body, i added an air pump which boosts it to 700 liters per min into each beckett

the pump feeding the skimmer is a reeflo barracuda
