My new Skimmer .. YEA BABY!!!

Michael_Lambert · 12-21-2003, 01:22 AM

Well made my way over to OakVille Reef Gallery today!..

and came home with this puppy!.. Still dont konw what im going to do with it? Where im going to put it and how im going to run it.. I have a 2200 GPH Pound pump.. and both a Kent Venturi and a Becket.. not sure witch one im going to use

Its all fitted for Airdriven.. so that just adds more bubbles!!

So here we go.. She is 46 inches tall...

and she is 6 inches wide

Im thinking i finally have a skimmer for my little old 100g..

Michael_Lambert · 12-21-2003, 01:23 AM

Allright so i have her running

Just waiting now to see if she produces foam!.. the skimmer is being drvien ( Underdriven ) by a Little Giant Insump pump around 800GPH with a Kent Venturi ( 1/2 inch ) .. and then i am using the Duel Airstone unit that was installed as well..

So far she is looking really nice!.. Really milky!.. Hoping it will start to produce some foam!

Michael_Lambert · 12-21-2003, 01:24 AM

Just a shot to give an idea of how big it is..

this is the skimmer standing infront of my 100g 5 foot tank ..

E-gads! Run for your lives...it's BIGSKIMMER!!!

Just kiddin! Cool Skimmer!

We're saving up for a new skimmer. Want to get a Aqua-C Remora. Have heard they are one of the best. Cost alot though.

Right now we have a seaclone 150. It's doing the job ok but, I want a better one.

Cool a good skimmer is always a good present.

Michael_Lambert · 12-21-2003, 11:23 AM

No pics of the Pump yet.. Im just using a old crappy 400 GPH Little giant insump pump.. IM looking for a decent inline Pump i can use for it.. and i need to build a Enclosure for it.. to keep it out of sight!

RanRoc · 12-21-2003, 11:27 AM

looks like a great skimmer...may it produce lots of gunk for years to come.
