Coralife SUPER SKIMMER RECIRC Mod.

I was wondering how many have tried this... I did a recirc mod on a 65 model and within 12 hours I already have 1/2inch of DARK STINKY skimmate!!!

So far it is pulling out some MAJOR stuff!!!
This is awesome

How many have tried this?

No, I have no pictures yet.. however, I can get some tomorow, Ill just use my phone... I have a razor and it takes some killer good pics!

I did a recirc mod on a CL65 using the exsisting NW pump and a maxijet 600 for as the feed pump... however, I might downgrade the MJ to a 400...

Its working ALOT better than it was!!! Its keeping the excess algae down 10 times better, and the water is clearer, its an obvious improvement...
Me and a Buddy of mine were thinking of ways to improve this product....

We had mentioned to each other about doing a RECIRC mod... He tried one on one of the CL65's that he had... but didnt possition the pump correctly, so we thought about it and redesigned it... and now it makes all the difference!!!

He drilled and brought the equipment and supplys.. I just told him where to drill the whole, and tada... works really well!
We are about to do this to a CL220 and see how that helps!


I will get pictures..

I bet SOMEONE has done this... if not... well, Im glad I started this thread!
