I got the Jabeo DCP 18000 installed yesterday before work. It’s moving some serious water now and the Density of the bubbles has doubled.
From what I’ve been reading most reefers that run a dc pump on the 72” are using a pump like the Jabeo 15000 or equivalent there of. So I may be drawing more air in than needed but don’t think that’s a bad thing.
I really like how you have the ability to change how you want to skim. For instance, when I set it up with the under powered pump I had to begin with, I just ran it conventional. This time I configured it to be down draft counter current. The majority of the incoming water enters near the bottom through the Venturi and two nozzles that create a spinning/spiral effect. The rest of the oxygen saturated water enter near the top, flowing downward.
You can also configure it to be a recirculating skimmer by changing some plumbing and adding a feed pump. This is very easy to do with all the unions I added when setting it up.
