  1. 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

  2. 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.
