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.
 
Here are some pictures of just a few hrs of running the new skimmer.

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...
 
Mmmm Mmmm Good... :thumbs:

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.
 
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.:D 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.
