Mag 7 for a turbofloter 1000

cofstl411 · 07-15-2005, 06:47 AM

I woke up this morning to find my rio pump not working. Unfortunately, I have to go to work and won't have time to replace the pump until I get home. I have a mag 7 that has never been used. Can I somehow use the mag 7 for the feed pump for the turboflotor 1000? I don't see anywhere to attach the air line to create the bubbles. Any help would be appreciated because I would rather use the mag 7 than go out and purchase a new pump tonight. The rio was only a couple of months old!

Now, the MAG 7 will not work since you cannot get air passed through the pump. You'll need to find a pump that allows for the venturi hose to be attached so it can pass air to the skimmer; the AquaBee might be a better option than the Rio.

I used the pre-filter to hold an airline in front of the inlet of my MAG12 once.... Experiment gone bad. But it may work for your application, IF the MAG does not flood the skimmer! I think it may be to much power though!

Thanks guys,

I bought a CA2200 at my lfs because it was the only one they carried.
