Who does SMALL acrylic projects

Yeah I was suprised about the instant improvement I got when I moved the skimmer from the (very high water) skimmer compartment to the (much lower) refugium area.
I purchased the skimmer from somebody that got a complete Elos system and judging by the length of the silicone hose that connects to the pump and the screw holes on the bottom plate I am thinking the skimmer would have been mounted elevated in the Elos sump with the pump below (because the silicone hose is much too long to just go to a pump sitting next to it).

You can also use egg crate to make a stand.

I was going to say this to, haha.

Ive done it before. Super easy. Eggcrate and zipties

my skimmer specs have a specific depth that the pump is suppose to be located for the skimmer to function optimally. Have you looked into this for your skimmer?

1+ look this up, because the pumps have different air draws at different depths. I cant remember who but there was a thread a while back when somebody had a Coralife super skimmer and couldnt get it to work right and they had to adjust the pump height to what the manufacturer suggested. After that it started skimming like a champ apparently. I would email elos probably hte quickest/easiest way to find out, if you there isnt a spec sheet to be found

Looks nice JT!
Randy and Jesse I have the manual for this skimmer. While most skimmers rely on needlewheel impellers the NS 2000 work with a regular pump (have the usual needlewheel ASM for the small tank).
I makes little difference for the Elos NS because the double chamber, air supply and and downdraft infection all takes place in the skimmer chamber itself.
It's the needlewheel pumps that use injection up and via transport to the skimmer so the supply varies more from needlewheel skimmer.
What is important with the Elso ES is for the outlet to be above the water level rather below water level.
