The flow rate is dictated by the height of the discarge line for the gavity feed inside the skimmer. The lower the line discharges from within the skimmer below the water line the higher the rate of flow and it can be set up to be adjustable with a sleeve and coupling. Depending on the design, configuaration or application, bottom drains and jets can be connected directly to the system as well. The main unit can house multipal pumps and multiple BioCores if needed or desired.

I would be interested in knowing more about the Nexus system as well. Thanks!
