It's too big but thanks for getting me the info.

10" wide, 7" depth, 11" height (drain side), 6.5" tank side.

I'm interested in 3. Marineland SOS skimmer (overflow box) 600gph- $30.00

Can you tell me the dimensions.

Thanks

Thanks for the can's there going to work perfect

Just PM'd you my address

I'll take both of them.

You don't ever want a "siphon" type flow. If the power went out and your return pump shut off you would still have water flowing into your sump. Shortly there after you would experience the wet floring material issue. Been there done that but not for this particular reason. Still dosen't make points with the significant other.

Your best bet is to have a small pump sitting in the sump feed the skimmer.

Is your tank drilled? I.E. is it reef ready? If not you will want to look at getting an overflow box if you don't all ready have one. Here are some examples: Marine Depot Overflows.

I actually use this one on my 30 gallon hex sea horse tank. It's not the nicest but what I like about it is that it comes with a small water pump that will restart the "internal" siphon when the power comes back on after an outage.

So you have the water flowing out of the tank. But only as much as what your return pump puts back into the tank, because overflows are designed such that when the water stops being pumped into the tank they stop taking water out of the tank.

For the most part a safe way to get water out of your tank and into your sump.

The hose that comes from the overflow to the sump you will want to place in a small bucket. This will keep the "dirty" water concentrated for feeding to the skimmer. Inside this bucket place a small water pump to pump water into the skimmer. Then have the water coming out of the skimmer flow into the sump. And then the return pump will pump the "clean" water back up to the tank.

The pump feeding your skimmer should be about 1.5 gph * total water volume. So if you have a tank with 50 gallons and a sump with 20 gallons you would want a pump that is about 105 gallons per hour. If you are using the bucket to catch the dirty water you want to make sure that the return pump will pump more water than the skimmer pump so that the skimmer pump dosen't run dry.

I had good luck feeding the skimmer with a MaxiJet pump. I would suggest the 400 or 600 version for your tank.

Hope that helps answer some questions. Let me know if you need me to clarify anything.

Defib, I recieved the skimmer today, thanks for entertaining my brother and sister in law. Now for the the series of questions. I decided I would go ahead and place the skimmer in a sump and don't totally understand the simple concept here. The top lip of my tank is 5 foot high and the water inlet on the skimmer will be about 4 feet below the top of the tank. Do I need a pump to supply the skimmer or is siphon flow enough. I will drain the skimmer off into the sump and return the water to the main tank with a sufficient sized pump. If I need a pump to supply the skimmer, what size would you recommend based on a 55 gal tank. Check out my first plan and let me know if it will work.

Thanks Again

Troy

That is a lovely tank! Wish I had a spot to put it!

This system wasnt even running for a full year. All components are in EXCELLENT condition. It was over $2.5K but letting it go for cheap since we are moving and i need it out.

Saturday around noon is fine.

I'll send you a message with number and address.

What does your schedule look like this Saturday around noon? I'm coming from College Station so I would prefer a noonish meeting. By the way, I'll take it.

You can run it in the sump or out of the sump... If you run it out of the sump you will want to glue the pipe joints of the output plumbing to prevent leaks... I ran it in the sump so they are still unglued.

The only other thing you would need is a small pump to feed water to the skimmer or a way for the water coming from your overflow to go into the skimmer.

The skimmer does need to empty into a sump it wouldn't be able to push the water back up to your tank.

Hi, new to the Austin Reef Club and SW Aquariums period. I am interested in this skimmer, but have a few questions.

Does this skimmer have to sit in a sump or can it sit on the floor by independently?

What additional equipment is required to place this skimmer into operation?

The top of my tank is 5' from the floor and I am interested in placing the skimmer on the floor next to the tank.

Thanks in advance.

Bump still have this for sale.

I'd be happy to take it off your hands... I can give you a call this evening after I get out of work.

Thanks

Jon

I'd like around 50 lbs or so of it. Maybe we can get together sometime this weekend?

This rock came out of a tank that was setup for 1.5 years and Is cured and ready to go! I put some of it in my tank, but have lots of extra! Most pieces are around 10lbs! Its Fiji! Im looking for $2 per pound! If you take it all $225! I may take trades! I need 250w DE MH bulbs or T5 retro kits, calcium reactor, Reefkeeper 2/AC jr., and maybe NICE SPS!

If blindside doesn't take them I'll take them.

Ill take them both!

How old is it and can you post a picture of it?

Thanks

I have apprx 50lbs of live rock for sale. Asking $100.

- You will need a CO2 tank (5lb or 10lb) and small pump/line to pump tank water to reactor (I have a 5lb CO2 tank available that I'll sell for $30 extra)

I'm looking for a CO2 tank. When is the next pressure test due on the tank? (That is assuming they need them of course). If yours has a few years left and no one else want's it I'll take it.

2 5 pounds bottles

Pinpoint PH controller

If you decide to part out I would be interested in the controller and 1 bottle maybe both depending on price.

Hey John

We were wondering if you have any frags still available of the florescent yellow softie?

Thanks

He's at AquaTek now if anyone want's him.

Here's another picture of it with a ruler next to it.

I would say the body is a bit bigger than a baseball and if you add the spines it's close to a softball *shrug* (I can't remember the last time i held either one of those items so take it with a grain of salt.)

Hope that helps

Bump still for sale.
