+o0zarkawater Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Decided to play around with the cone skimmer a bit. From looking at the "instructions" I figured out that it is supposed to use a DC4000 pump similar to the Jebao. ( Also found a similar model but with black trim, available in Turkey from a website that sells these things for around $375USD, about same price as they sell a reef octopus 200int) https://www.marineakvaryum.net/Reef-Royal-DC-212-Protein-Skimmer,PR-14016.html Since I have a few Jebao pumps sitting around, I ordered a 3D printed needle/meshwheel impeller + adjustable volute venturi intake for the DC8000 I have. Here is the skimmer after 4 days in the tub with no fish, just rocks. The pump is hooked up all janky since I was just testing it, but is only turned up around 30% power. This thing can be a beast when paired with the right pump. If you look around online you can find a DC4000 type pump with needlewheel. Or I will sell this beast if someone wants. Enticing? Who wants it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
