Chris,
PM me if you need a ATO unit, I will get you a good price on the Tunze. I would recommend them over anything else.
Unless you wan to do it with a float valve set up! You will need a little room in teh sump for the float valve though.
The Tunze is the ticket though!

Hi Glenn,
I do not run the media rack. I just have a large micron sock bag with carbon and a few other things in it in the last chamber. Works fine.
I have noticed with the new Euro reef skimmer that there is plenty of room to just vacuum the chamber out without removing the skimmer! So, use the center chamber as a detritus trap and vacuum accordingly when doing water changes.
Here is what you do when you are siphoning out the center chamber during a water change:
Un-snap your electrical breaker box and let it hang down to the side. Now, you can look through the side and watch the siphon tube suck up the detritus out of the middle chamber! That's what I do!

Chris,
IT's going to be REALLY hot today. Watch out you do not run those pumps dry and burn them up! LOL

jdmevo9 · 04-20-2009, 01:45 PM

yea haha I bet it's still not as hot as up there in LA must be miserable. Thanks for the heads up on that I will be monitoring it and sending you a pm about the ATO later today.

redseareef · 04-20-2009, 01:55 PM

Terry - all you need is this skimmer, I am going to bet ! Will be interesting to see what you think when you get time to test !!! Will be looking & waiting

redseareef · 04-20-2009, 07:37 PM

Dude,
Brush your fishes teeth!!!! That is the most nasty looking Skimmate I have ever seen!!!!!!LOL..................................... .You better get some make up water in that sump man!!!!!! These skimmers ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reefmack · 04-20-2009, 07:59 PM

I never saw that dark of skimmate from my Tunze. Looking forward to the time when I can put mine in.

jdmevo9 · 04-20-2009, 08:08 PM

Haha I think it's so dark and sludgey is because I had my tunze out of operation for 2 days prior to starting the euroreef up

redseareef · 04-21-2009, 02:57 AM

I hope you added water to that sump today!!!!!!LOL

redsea reefer · 04-21-2009, 02:10 PM

hey todd, do you know if the euroreef produces more or less heat than the stock rsm skimmer?
i had an idea too, if the new cell cast acrylic splash lens works out better, why not start to make that also and sell it...
i would get it for sure...

zenzence · 04-21-2009, 02:45 PM

Hello again all,
Hey how we doing with micro bubbles in the tank with the euroreef skimmer installed. Does it help with micro bubbles or perhaps even eliminate them?

Thanks
Chad Zenzen

jdmevo9 · 04-21-2009, 02:56 PM

Haven't had a single trace of micro bubbles.

nanoreefing4fun · 04-21-2009, 03:15 PM

Very good question - "do you know if the euroreef produces more or less heat than the stock rsm skimmer?"

I don't run a chiller now & was not planning to...
