I hooked that up to my 90g. That was when I had fish... coral... sand... power heads... rock...

But hey... the water sure is clear now!

There's a fundamental difference between the RK2 and the MRC commercial skimmers, and that would be the air injection method.

RK2s use a mazzei injector, which is a venturi that works on the push side of the pump. MRC commercial skimmers uses needlewheel with custom venturis on the intake of the pump.

The MRC commercial skimmers pull significantly more air at 1/3 the power of the RK2s. If you were to replace an RK2 with a MRC it would pay for itself with power savings. MRCs also feature a digitally controlled automatic washdown systems. They can be adjusted for frequency and duration to fully clense the cup and neck depending on skimmate density.

Oz, don't worry about the price. Just bring your AMEX and we'll take care of the rest

My little 40" skimmer seems so inadequate now....

Cool, when will MRC have an upgrade program? Bring in your existing MRC and trade it in for a new one. haha

+1000000. Forever, RK2s were the main staple for large systems (public insitituion sized, or wholesalers). There has never been any competition. Until now. All the things that make a Bubble King skimmer better than a Seaclone, makes the MRC commercial better than a RK2.

Awwwwwe, that skimmer's cute!

According to Mrs.Mojo, your "skimmer" has always been inadequate! oooh, burn! :lol2:

 

[mojo]

And I think the MRC guys are just compensating for something...

It's not the size of the skimmer that counts its the amount of skimmate. haha, ok enough and for the record, pres started it.
