I just Won a PM 1 Skimmer!

Well the auction on ebay just ended for the PM bullet 1 Skimmer, So now aside from Needing to set up a sump/fuge now. l Hate how one thing always leads to the purchase of another!

Anyways What will I need to get this beast up and running? Best Pump? etc etc.

 

Congrats, I'm jealous!!

 

Thanks! I was going to get the auqaC remora, But its only rated up to 75 gallons, and I planned on adding a fuge/sump eventually so it wouldnt have been able to keep up.

 

Bigger is always better when it comes to skimming IMO. The mag pumps are good I think, but wait for someone else to chime in, this isn't my forte ! The Bullets are some of the best on the market though! Mind if I ask how much you got it for? Was it new or used?

 

Mag12 is what is recommended for it

 

Mag 12 it is. It was $217 shipped, and it was new. Could I get one large pump and set up a manifold system to run the sump, push the water through the skimmer and return the water to the DT?

 

I second the Mag-12

 

"congrats"

 

Well some things are to good to be true I suppose. I dont think it will affect performance if I reseal it. Behold.



Beast of A skimmer! Love it and I havent even hooked it up yet.





BUT








The glue has seperated probaly halfway around the neck, and that black peice is cracked all the way across. Good News is tho the TEK T-5 fixture comes tomorrow. Pictures to come of that as well...

EDIT: The ring around the neck is 95% cracked. But still intact.

 

I got the same skimmer, mag 12 is the go you will also need a gate valveto ajust it
should be able to DIY a new ring for that too.
