Precision Marine Bullet-1 Protein Skimmer(Hand-Crafted by PM right here in the US)
 The Bullet-1 is the youngest brother of the Bullet Line. Make no mistake, while its the smallest, the Bullet-1 is a potent skimmer. Efficient to 150g, we challenge you to find a more powerful skimmer built like this one. Can you say.... value? Check out the specs below. Overall Height | 20 | Base Dimensions | 5.25x 9 | Inlet Size | 1 Barb | Outlet Size | 1.25 FPT | Ozone Compatible | Yes - Included Port | Pump Recommendations | Sedra 9000, 12000, MAG12 | Capacity | 150g |

- Can I install the Bullet Series in my reservoir?
- Yes, as long as the drain of the skimmer is not completely covered in water. The drain is centered 3 off the bottom. Exception to this rule is the Bullet-1 which can be in 6Β of water. Most users will raise the skimmer up using one of the Precision Marine Stands.
- Can I install the Bullet Series out of my reservoir?
- Yes, as long as drain of the skimmer is returned above the running water level in the reservoir. Most users will install a bulkhead fitting in the reservoir and plumb the skimmer directly to it. You can even attach the gate valve to the bulkhead for a professional installation.
- Can I reduce the size of the drain plumbing?
- Never reduce the size of the drain. Water will not be able to exit the skimmer fast enough, and your water level will be too high.
- Is there supposed to be water in my Bullet Injector?
- Yes, the injector body will have nearly 1.5 of water in it when the pump/skimmer is running. This is equal to the height of the four air intakes.
- How high is the water level supposed to be in the first clear tube (riser)?
- We recommend maintaining the water level no more than 1 into the riser tube. When the water level is above 1, the water becomes turbulent and the foam is less stable. You can wet skim by adding more air.
- Is there such a thing as too much air?
- Yes, there is. If you open your air valve more than necessary, the bubble size will be compromised (too big) and your skimmate will be very wet. The more pressure you build before the bullet injector, the finer your bubble size.
- Can I use too big of a water pump?
- Yes, but it would have to be very large. Please follow the guidelines in the table of the your for pump size. Choose the largest pump with the table for your model for best results.
- How often do I need to clean the injector?
- This depends upon your mechanical filtration before the water hits the injector. If large debris is drawn into the pump feeding your skimmer, the debris may get trapped in the injector passages, decreasing its performance.
- Additives such as calcium hydroxide can build up in the passages in the injector. In either case, cleaning the injector is fast and easy with the Precision Marine Quik-Lok Injector. Routine cleaning should be performed every three months or whenever you notice diminished air quality.
- Is the Bullet Series compatible with Ozone?
- Most definately. Use the black barbed fitting supplied with your injector.
- How do I clean the muffler?
- Depending upon how dirty the muffler is, you can use simply use freshwater or soak in a diluted bleach solution overnight. If you use bleach, be sure to rinse the muffler well until you no longer smell the bleach.
