Looking at making a bigger beckett skimmer (2 nozzles driven off of a Dart pump and the rest of the pumps xs water going into my frag tank) for myself (500g system) and have been doing some snooping on the net for info on spec'ing out what I need to do. This site seems to have some good info on what it has to be.. http://www.hawkfish.org/snailman/skimmer101.htm

is the info on this site accurate or missing anything in regards to a beckett styled unit ?

Dart does not make a good beckett skimmer pump. You want a pressure pump for a beckett, and the dart is a low pressure high volume pump
