Biggest Skimmer Ever!

[azaintcold]

Ran across this thought it would be a good discussion piece. Its an industrial protien skimmer.

weight - 360 lb's
price - $13,500

 

[psusocr1]

yea thats no joke for sure! if the skimmer is 13 grand imagine what the pump costs would be to run it!

 

[socal57che]

Just think of the foul odors that puppy could emit!!!! :scared:

 

[autofreak44]

you think that would be big enough for my 10 gal?

 

[reeffreakgeek]

All I say is WOW!

 

[aw2x3]

I have pics, somewhere, of the ones from Shedd.
15' - 20' tall and 8' - 10' in diameter.

Or could it be the shortest woman in the world. For sure over kill for a 10 gallon tank.

Think I posted that a year or so back, but hey, who's looking at the skimmer anyway!?! :thinking:

 

[brandan]

This one is 12 foot tall. the company had one that was just shy of 20' tall.

where's the rest of it. skimmers of that size are suppose to be self cleaning ect and a little more advanced than that. That thing looks like its just waiting for tubing and a sedra. 360lbs seems flimsy for the size

 

[reefkprz]

any one think thats too big for my 2.5g nano?

 

[reefboys]

Haha maybe 2.5 million gallons. :notsure:

 

[triga22]

Think about cleaning that sucker. Youd habve to get a forklift and a crane to take it off. Then you would haul it on an 18 wheeler down to the water treatment and back. Thats a pain in the @$$

 

[seannmelly]

the wholesaler that supplies the lfs i work at has skimmers as big as the middle 1. its amazing on the sizes of them
