    That is some thick coffee!
    Did you get the new pump yet? Any difference?

    OK... so now I'm excited.

    I thought I was getting a pump, but he just sent the motor. Swapped it out no change. He then sent a venturi that was running on his skimmer at work with known performance. Put it on mine... I'm at 900lph! It is working great. Foaming it's butt off.

    The kicker is that WM has developed a new needle wheel. They are working on a new design to maybe solve the backward start thing, but this isn't it. But they now have a "Red" NW they are sending out to owners that pulls even more air than the one I have. Should get it next week. Woo Hoo!

    HAHA yes that is! I wish my protein skimmer did as much work as yours. I'm planing to save my money for this entire year and try to get a 75 or 90 gallon reef goin on. Keep up the good work!
