I have a ETSS600, moded to use a beckett head - $200.

It's the skimmer in the center of the picture.

The unit to the right is also for sale, custom ETSS unit a bit larger than the 600. $250

hi,
Im not sure if I understand the becket thing,
What size pump do i need to run it, is the pump included?
Thanks,
Frank
Im in oceanside...Oh , does it put a lot of mirco bubbles out into the sump?, I know that could be a problem with a becket

I replaced the hose barb nozzle with a becket valve and removed the bio balls, runs better than the bio balls and less cleaning. Pump is not included but I do have a few for sale as well.

You need a 600-900gph pressure rated pump to run this, I used a mag 18 with okay results, a GenX Mak-4 was way better. As for micro bubbles, it all depends how you place the skimmer in the sump and how much water you have in the sump. A Tupperware filled with rubble rocks placed at the exit of the skimmer helps in reducing micro bubbles.

Thanks, what is the height of the larger downdraft one ?
Can the 600 be turn back into a downdraft, I'm not crazy about beckets?

The larger ETSS is 36" tall at the tallest point.

The ETSS 600 can be converted back to down draft. I have the hose barb injector but don't have the 12 bio balls, I think I can get some if you want it.
