ATB 8.5 Deluxe Skimmer serial number 001

[GSMguy]

Here it is, It had to share it with the R2R folks
Anton Sent Victor some photos he took of mine before it left Austria, it is recirculating, or i can run it single pass if i prefer i have both venturis,
It may take some tinkering to get the right setting.
so many options. I will have to see what the pump likes, i know Sicce motors dont like restrictions.

redefining over-engineered

I should have it within a week, Gadgets Offered to come by and do a photoshoot before i drop it in the sump.:wink::bigsmile:

I wish they would have done them in red or blue instead of white. White can turn yellowish over time.

 

[GSMguy]

hopefully It wont yellow, but you can get them in red white black or any combo you want there are a few red and white regular cones in the EU. You could have a red pump, white body, and black base with a red and white cup if you want Mike

My stand is white though, i think it will look pimp.

im also getting an ATB flowstar 1500 return pump i think im going to T it off and feed the skimmer with it too.

Red white and black would be awesome. I'm glad you can choose colors.

nice... that's a keeper!

nice... that's a keeper!

Thanks Jon.
while your here what do you think the recirc will do to the sicce? i always heard recirc skimmers had less backpressure on the pump would that be true even with the pump mounted so low? i always heard that in regards to the H&S,Deltec designs.

That's SeanT's isn't it? Love how it dwarfs the Deltec.

I'll be curious to see how it does... tbh I'm not sure. I've never run a Sicce like that. Worst case scenario... you run something with a bit more power like a Tunze NW or even a detuned 1500 motor @ 1000LPH of air... but I doubt if Anton would ship it if it didn't work well.

That's an 8.5" diam lower cone, right?
