Thanks man.... I really needed a new skimmer and this one came out perfect. Starting to produce some nice foam just after a couple hrs of working. Im taking progress pictures for everyone as well. I wouldnt forget.

What kind of pump do you have on that baby?

 

[william1]

The pump is an Askoll 1500. And its crazy powerful and silent.

It is the SWC askoll pump.

I saw the measurements above but what is the exact footprint with pump and gate valve?

It would be more like 13''X15'' Didnt measure it that way this is just a guess. Tim said he could place the pump inside the skimmer as well for a space saver...

Came home today and it was overflowing and I had to empty it. WOW this thing is a powerhouse. 2 points for Tim at MRC on this one. Normally during feedings my skimmer doesnt produce any foam but now it seems to really want to skim like crazy.

Heres a little updated cameraphone picture after 2 days.

Now Ive emptied it friday and just one day later its filling back up again. And also the readings from the skimmer are in it was a little jumpy from 70-90 SCFH. Thanks Lee.

Man that is crazy! Since your having to empty it so often are you going to have a drain port added??

I know right, but I do have alot of extra nutrients in the tank so Im skimming a little wet. Still nice and frothy foam though.

Oh nice man, you got the meter! That was quicker than I thought Will, make sure you keep your eye on your salinity, esp if you're skimming very wet.

Ya I always keep an eye on the salinity thanks for the reminder. I will be sending it back in the next two days.

That's cool man, no rush if it's not out right away. Just send it the 1st class, it was only 2 and some change....and apparently got there pretty darn quick. Sure you're not THAT far away, but sometimes things happen a little weird with the PO, lol.
