H&S releases new “needle wheel”

H&S has released a new needlewheel for it’s external skimmer line (sorry internal users).  It looks awfully similar to the Fauna Marin designed closed needlewheel shown here.

tunze master doc skimmer

wet neck’s are old news!

Like a wetneck, I am not sure about the performance gain when using this, but it’s as original as it gets. This info was found from our Spanish friend Nestor (Buffer) over at TuArrecife If you speak Spanish, check it out!

ATB external goodness

ATB has released images of it’s new external model. Shown below is the XL with airstar 2000 pump. Like it’s internal brothers it can be completely dissembled for easy cleaning. It utilizes a Laguna 2400 motorblock with an enlarged volute allowing it to pull 3,000lph. Here in the states it will likely pull 3500lph+.

atb has released their new cone hang on the back skimmer. utilizing a hagen PH with a custom volute (and meshwheel) as well as a bubble plate to reduce tubulence…we have no doubt this will perform.

MCE600

this skimmer continues to impress me. today while cleaning out the collection cup, i came back to a nice foam head without the cup on. this was due to feeding fresh seafood earlier in the day, but still shows the power of this great HOB. if you’d like to read more regarding this i […]
