redseareef · 10-17-2009, 09:33 PM

Thanks! I will be looking for one Saturday. We have a big reef show next Saturday. REEF-A-PALOOZA!!! I will be attending with a cooler to get some nice frags! Should be alot of fun! Still a hobbyist after all these years!

tnwillia · 10-18-2009, 08:24 AM

Just over 12 hours on the new wheels and I'm back to normal in skim production. Thanks Robbert!!!!

Reefmack · 10-18-2009, 08:39 AM

Looks nice Tom!

redseareef · 10-18-2009, 11:08 AM

Hi Glenn! Thanks! Yes, planning on a big thread update asap. How's the tank doing?

tnwillia · 10-19-2009, 04:39 PM

This is 48hours on the new material wheels.

This is what I've grown to expect as daily preformance from my ER nano skimmer and why it will always be the primary skimmer for my RSM 250.

Thanks Robbert & Todd!

redseareef · 10-19-2009, 05:16 PM

WOW! Looks like no problems with the new mesh material. It's tuff stuff! Just be gentle when handling it, as it is VERY hard!

Reefmack · 10-19-2009, 05:20 PM

I've been tempted to put a weight on top of my lid. Awesome skimmers!

jbm109 · 10-24-2009, 11:52 AM

just got AND INSTALLED MY SKIMMER TODAY.........TRNED ON THE PUMPS AT THE SAME TIME, BUT THEY ONLY STAY ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECS, THEN TURN OFF AGAIN, STAY OFF FOR A FEW MINS, THEN COME ON FOR ANOTHER 10 SECS???

WHAT IS HAPPENNING?? ARE THE PUMPS FAULTY, OR HAVE I DONE SOMETHING WRONG???

tnwillia · 10-24-2009, 11:55 AM

I start 1 and let it start producing bubbles wait 5 minutes or so then start the other. If I start both at the same time I have your problem. Good Luck!

jbm109 · 10-24-2009, 12:04 PM

I thought that too, bt then tried the pumps in the tank on thier own and one is not coming on at all, and the other just does the ten second thing...........going to be such a pain returning everything from the uk too, and pricey!!

was so excited to get it all set up too

redseareef · 10-24-2009, 12:09 PM

Hi Jess,
IT may be a problem with the Hertz in your country(Jess is from England). Try one of the Max return pumps Jess. They are the same pumps, just swap over the parts. This is strange, as we have sold to hobbyists in other countries and they use adapters with no problems.
Please let me know how it goes Jess.

tnwillia · 10-24-2009, 12:13 PM

Just to be sure before you go thru returning it, submurge them in a bucket of water 1 at a time and see if they will run. You can do this without the airline cover on the pump to see if the impeller wheel is turning, just be careful to keep your hand away from that wheel. Also try blowing air into the airline tube while it's running to see if it starts producing bubbles, you could have an air blockage. It's easier to do this in a bucket than putting them in and out of the tank. I'm guessing here but it should help narrow down the problem if there is one. Good luck!

redseareef · 10-24-2009, 12:25 PM

Thanks Tom!!!

Reefmack · 10-24-2009, 02:06 PM

I have both of mine on an extension cord so I can can plug them in at the same time. I've never had a problem with both starting and staying on.
