Skimmer Group Buy - Page 8

AQTCJAK · 04-26-2008, 06:20 PM

I have made a modification to mine that worksd really well the pout put from the skimmer to the sump I have plumbed with 3/4" pvc & have it about 1.5" under the water level.

everything else sounds good it will take a bit to break in then you will be on your way to a dry skim

Well after 24 hrs, this skimmer is pushing some brownish bubbles to the top and there is a small amount of gunk in my milk jug. And the "prizm of constant adjustment"......no bubbles at all - when i get back from my business trip, it is history.

My 7yr old wants to know how many bubbles are in the tube....she thinks somewhere near a bazilion.

I am very very happy with my purchase. Thanks for offering it up at such a great price!

AQTCJAK · 04-28-2008, 10:53 AM

anytime good to hear things are going well

Gumby · 05-01-2008, 09:14 AM

Prizm has been unplugged and the amount of gunk in the milk carton is at about 1/8"

the top "cone" part of the Term has an brownish shade to it now.

I find if you clean out the top part of the skimmer where the brown gunk builds up (regularly) it skimmes better, also clean the exit hole.

Mine is skimming great!

I have mine dumping into a 5 gallon bucket, and the amount of foam and gunk is unbelievable

Stacef · 05-01-2008, 09:44 AM

Would you run a T2 on a 220g? Or would I need 2 of them possibly? Let me know your thoughts I am interested in one. Thanks!

Also--when would be the next time this is available?

naperenterprise · 05-01-2008, 09:46 AM

I think the T2 would be fine for a 220.

I have mine on a 330+ and its doing great!

Stacef · 05-01-2008, 10:05 AM

Thanks Jason!!

AQTCJAK · 05-01-2008, 10:59 AM

how frequent is "regularly"?

mines all sorts of gunky

naperenterprise · 05-01-2008, 04:27 PM

I personally try to clean it once a week. Its really quick and easy.
I let it go when I first gor it, and let the gunk build up and it almost stopped skimming, but this went on a new tank that never had a skimmer before, so that may have something to do with it.

You have the HOB right? Hows that workin out for you?
