Well sort of. Water does not enter the standpipe from the surface, which is what makes it quiet, but it also has a small hole on the top which acts as a siphon break. For instance IF you made your Durso and placed your finger over the hole ... the Durso will create a solid siphon, siphon...

I've never tried this method, but this is what the 'Hofer Gurgle Buster' is for. Evidently it's similar to an up side down Stockman Aqua-Silencer ... sort of. It surface skims. Here's the link: Hofer Gurgle Buster

I've never used this specific pump before I was just hoping someone had personal experience with it. It didn't sound like it would drive a skimmer without 2 or more.

I am familiar with the use of these types of pumpe (needle wheel, pin wheel, etc..). I just don't know much of anything RE: this specific one. The literature is vague (in the links). For instance what specific skimmer is it typically used for? What size of tank? Maybe I can use 2 for a skimmer.

How it was explained to me (about UV) is you either sterilize or you don't (run 24/7 or don't at all). I was told that you create a disease free environment when running UV 24/7 long-term. This lowers the inhabitant’s immunities. If you suddenly shut it off the inhabitants are more...

I have a few tanks of different sizes in need of some serious skimming. Thinking about constructing some skimmers. Tanks between 55-75 gal. Anyone had much experience with this pump? Think it would do a good job? I have never witnessed one and have no clue what the needle wheel looks like...

I am going to build a DIY skimmer and am starting with the basics. I have become in love with the Needle type skimmers - especially the Euro Reef. I was wondering if anyone out there could give a little input with the dimensions/measurements of these skimmers. I would like to build an equivalent...

I don't have the pics yet. I'm actuall in the middle of making a Euro Reef Clone using PVC. I'm definitely going to use this venturi. I'm making my own DIY Needle Impeller to drop into my DP-560 for this skimmer. If it works well I may even try using the Via Aqua pump (shown in the pics) as a...

I just found this excellent DIY Venturi! “Don W†from Reef Frontiers originally posted his made from acrylic rod. I couldn’t find acrylic rod so I made mine out of PVC filled with a 2-part material from www.sanitred.com called Quick Patch. I simply mixed it, poured it into a...
