Thanks, everything’s opening up and looking great.

Can I see them in person and browse or do I have to decide from the picture?

I'd like a rainbow.

It is 48” long? Do you have the mounting feet?

Do you still have this skimmer for sale?

They totally got me!

Is this for real? Or am I an April fool?

Put me down as next in line.

I can help on Saturday.

I don't have pythons, but I can volunteer my two garter snakes for lifting.

I can't see a picture.

That might actually work, but I would rather fix the problem at the source so I don't have an overflow to begin with.

That would be ideal. This skimmer is way bigger than I need and just barely fits in my sump, but it usually works well so I haven't bothered to try and find a smaller one that would fit better.

I empty the cup about once a week. I have only taken the skimmer out and cleaned it once since I've had it.

Awww man, I have to start doing maintenance?!?!

My skimmer has a gate valve on the output that lets me adjust the water level in it. I have it set so the top of the bubbles are about halfway up the inside of the skimmer cup.

I guess it is possible, but as soon as I shut off the skimmer the water level in the sump went up and the ATO pump shut off. So it seemed to be working as it should.

The air line does make sense. I just shut it off as fast as possible to stop the splashing, but I don't think I saw any bubbles in it. I think it was just water being pumped straight up through the top. I'll have to make sure and double check the air line and give it a good cleaning when I get home tonight. When it happens again i'll try to remember to check if there are any bubbles and look at the air line before shutting it off. Fortunately it rarely happens, but that makes it harder to troubleshoot.

I didn't check the air line. I just turned it off, emptied the cup and cleaned it, then turned it back on. It worked fine when I turned it back on.

I have had an ASM G2 skimmer for about 2 years now. I bought it used, here on ARC. It has worked great, except about once every four or five months it will spontaneously start overflowing.

It had been working perfectly for months then this morning when I woke up I heard the ATO pump sucking air. I went to look at the tank and found the skimmer overflowing and splashing water out of the sump.

The ATO pumped in the last couple gallons of top off water in to replace the spilled water and now my SG is down to 1.21. I cleaned up the mess and turned the skimmer back on and it is working fine now.

Any ideas what would make it behave like that?

That looks great already. I want a reef nightlight!

I would like the Green Palys, Purple Rim Montipora, pagoda cup and maybe some zoas. Sending a PM.
