A few of the new Warner Marine skimmer models are getting an upgrade. The AS200, AS300, and RX200 will now be shipping with Warner’s new modified Sedra 9000HO pump. If you were one of the earlier adopters of these, don’t fret. Warner Marine will give you a free HO pump upgrade upon your request.
Here’s the 9000HO in action
Thanks to a staggered needle wheel and a modified output the Sedra 9000HO pulls 1080lph @ 47w. This was measured on the AS200 model (8″D x 24″ H with Bubble Plate) running in a water depth of 9″ @ 1.022sg.
These pumps will offer a well performing option to many reefers and will give the Eheim 1260 needle wheel a run for their money. Typically the 1260 pulls just shy of 1000lph.
On the RX 200 model, the pump will face less back pressure by recirculating the bubble plate. We would not be surprised if on the RX200, with a little help from some enkamat flat backed mesh, a 1200lph+ airpull would be possible.
The RX150
The RX200′s little brother, the RX150 will be arriving for testing on the glassbox. Here are some images of this recirculating skimmer. We should have more photos when it arrives this Friday.
This model is a 26″ tall, 6″ diameter recirculating skimmer powered by a Sedra 7000 which pumps into a nice little bubble plate. From there, water will flow up to the gently sloped 3.5″ neck. We are anxious to give it a test and share our results.
