Thanks Jack!
Got it this morning.
50 mins to hook together. Watched the video on the website AND read the instructions! lol
A historic first for sure.
Very bubbly.

AQTCJAK · 04-12-2008, 03:45 PM

Very cool

BEELZEBOB · 04-14-2008, 05:56 PM

i just got mine WOOOOOO FREGGGIN WHOOOOOOO!!!!!

talk about overkill!!!!!!!!!! this thing is as tall as my tank!!!!

ah man im soooo excited, i think im gonna build it tonight, and set it up tomorrow. (need to do a lil scaping cause its soo much bigger than i thought!)

thanks Jack, you're the man.

just so everyone knows, i saved at LEAST 20 bucks goin though jack, and thats before shipping. (which Jack included)

Buddha · 04-14-2008, 06:26 PM

Bob, I put mine together last Thursday night, and installed it Saturday morning.....and sat there and watched it like a kid waiting for Santa. You should see the stuff it was pulling out this morning!!!

I'm VERY impressed!!!

Unless you're going to put yours in your sump, I highly recommend you undo all the plumbing and retape it with additional teflon tape! The fittings aren't all that tight from the factory.

Also, I took a small zip tie and loosely attached the 1/4" breather tube to the overflow tube on the collection cup. This just keeps it up high and out of the way.

Let us know how yours does!

vdituri · 04-14-2008, 08:20 PM

That is one of the few things I would comment on is the venturi intake tube.
They say to have it above the water level so it doesn't seep water on a power outage, but from a details standpoint there is nothing to clip it to.
It's a small detail to attach it to the output hose.

Working like a champ though!

Gumby · 04-15-2008, 10:41 PM

By far the easiest transaction i have ever had online for my fishtank and one of the nicest people I have talked to on the phone.

I look forward to seeing my new skimmer.

thanks!!!

AQTCJAK · 04-15-2008, 10:51 PM

Thanks for the compliments

Edd13 · 04-16-2008, 01:12 AM

the 1/4" tube will build up salt in the line from turning it off and on to clean on the top ... i recommend about once every other month flush with RO water to clear the salt
