• Antifoam from ATMAN

  • Judy

Gentlemen sailors. I accidentally came across a mention of the foam separator from ATMAN. Has anyone encountered it? Please share your impressions.

Kimberly3727

I saw the Atman skimmer in action, and I don't think it's worth buying; it doesn't produce foam well. It's better to save up and get an Aquamedic instead.

Daniel

And nothing can be improved?

Michael3221

If the hands grow correctly, then I think there is nothing impossible. Then it might be worth trying to make a homemade one. There are plans online for building a foam cannon from sewer pipes.

What, is it all hopeless? I would like to see him alive. So far, I have had a good impression of ATMANA.

Stephen

They need to be equipped with more powerful pumps than those they come with; then they will work.

Stacy6866

What volume of aquarium can be serviced by the Atman p separator with a 2500 L pump?

Tammy

He doesn't work at all.

Kimberly

Well, we talked.

Laura4892

I will try, I will try to make it work.

Install a powerful pump with a capacity of three and a half tons. Then it might push foam into the cup... or there might be too much turbulence, causing particles of the contaminating substance to clump together. If something works out, let me know, because the foamer isn't expensive, and I would like it to work after all.

I don't quite understand. How does a pressure regulator from a compressor work, for example? I have one, but I can only keep it clean.

Samuel6138

Through the sprayer.

Beth3383

And what about these, is there no spray?

Lisa

Thank you for the advice. Indeed, the price is enticing.

Kevin262

So, did anyone manage to get something with the Atman pen?

Derek7322

I have an Atman protein skimmer with a 2500L head in one of my aquariums. For it to work properly, it needs to be thoroughly degreased from the technical oil used during assembly on the conveyor, especially the rubber parts it stands on and the pump. The shaft, impeller, and threaded connections are coated in oil, which disrupts the surface tension and interferes with the bubble formation process.

Brooke

What affordable foam separator (only a working one) would you recommend for a 120-liter aquarium with a pair of clownfish?

William

Biostar flotor from Aquamedic. It has a rotating biofilter wheel and can be installed on the side of the aquarium. It doesn't spoil the appearance... and a sump is not needed.

Michelle

Sincerely, but we need to compare the prices. Atman works without hesitation.

Rachel

Where is the best place to buy a pen? And I still don't understand if it's worth getting an Atman or not. I will invest 400-500 for 120 liters? Aquamedic - who manufactures it, China?

Christopher4108

Indeed, who actually has Atman foam separators working at sea? For how long?

Maria6659

The atman has been working without repairs for about 3 years, and I am very satisfied, but I don't know where to get one. I had it brought to me at my request from an exhibition, it's 120 liters. You can choose one from Sasha in Kharkiv, but make sure to get one with a pump, not an air one.

Jeffrey2277

Thank you And what model is it? What aquarium does it service? And about the pump - it was mentioned here that the original pump is weak and doesn't work well with it. Have you replaced it with a more powerful pump?

Brandon4517

For a 120-liter aquarium, you can install the Aqua Medic Mini Flotor protein skimmer. It is designed for a volume of up to 200 liters.

Ronald

The miniflotator is very easy to modify. Just install a pump and increase the power. But honestly, it works great as it is.

Alexander

The Chinese protein skimmer RESUN S-150 is almost a copy of the Miniflotor. The only difference is the upper cup: it is significantly smaller. It works a bit worse and is cheaper. This one can be modified by adding a pump.
