I was taking a sip of tea when I hit the "whats new" button. I almost spit all over my laptop when I saw this thread and your name attached to it.

[BSJF]

Yip wide awake now, thanks!

[jroescher]

I;m curious to know why you aren't going to use it?

[Europhyllia]

Good Morning all! :D

My biggest challenge with skimmers for the size of my tank is fitting it into my sump. under the cross bracing the stand has.
This one just barely fits. Since fit is so super thight, the usual maintenance one does with a skimmer every once in awhile is a big challenge. For example I can even get to the pump because of the way it is wedged into the skimmer compartment without taking the whole thing out which is super tough.

Simplest fix perhaps would be to have a new sump made for the stand. I have doors on the side of the stand but we centered the tank on the wall and I don't have enough room on each side of it to remove the old sump and insert a new one (with a bigger skimmer compartment)

[BSJF]

It's always surprized me how small most sumps make the skimmer compartment. Even more amazed that skimmers take up so much space.

[Europhyllia]

I know. And then the footprint info...ugh. Obviously I can't use the skimmer without a pump so it should be included in the foot print...
It would actually fit okay if it wasn't for the cross bracing on the stand itself. I can't lift the skimmer straight up because the cross bracing goes over the skimmer compartment.
So it's the combination of the two that makes it tough to use/maintain for me.

Got a couple of 'bites' on RC but hate to pack this thing up and ship it so I reduced it a LOT to sell it locally.
This is a fantastic deal. Skimmer is in 'like new' condition -half price.

If you have been thinking of getting a spray injection skimmer, here's your opportunity. Can meet up with you in San Antonio

Here's a great article if you are not familiar with spray injection skimmers:


Here are Martin’s recommendations, based on system size, skimmer efficiency and cost:


Systems Less than 200 Gallons: “Needle wheel venturi skimming is the best. You can throw re-circ skimmers in there as well, because they are basically just fancy needle wheel venturi skimmers. In this class, I like the ASM skimmers because of the cost versus skimmate equation.”
Systems Between 250 and 1000 Gallons: “Spray Injection is best. It is sort of a waste on smaller tanks, otherwise it would be in the above class as well. This is my personal favorite type of skimming. It is simple, no complicated parts to clean, nothing to fail, easy adjustments. The big issue for people is usually the pumps recommended for these skimmers. The pumps have to be pressure rated and be powerful. The pump of choice currently is the Iwaki line which can be expensive. In this class, the only choice is the Aqua C line, which is my absolute favorite skimmer.”
Systems Over 1000 Gallons: “The only choice still (it has been for years) is Beckett Injection, which is basically a fancy venturi system. They require extreme power to perform well, but no other technology can process more water at a time period. They are an absolute pain to work with, but people who have these sometimes-20-foot-tall-skimmers, have full time employees to maintain them. For ‘home’ use, I like the Precision Marine line for no other reason than they are inexpensive compared to the commercial equivalents and are extremely well made.”

I have the same one and when I used it on my 120 I had it worked GREAT. I also loaned it out for almost a year and a half and they guy loved it. This is a GREAT deal on a GREAT skimmer. You guys are going to miss out on a great deal!

[Europhyllia]

Thanks Kevin! :)

Just as a side note: the price of $200 is firm. I already dropped the price substantially and I think at this price it really a GREAT deal.

Thanks for looking!

[Europhyllia]

I'll be on the NW side today between 2 PM and 4PM. Let me know if you want me to bring anything into town. :)

[Europhyllia]
