Warner Marine AS200 is finally here!!

Primetime33 · 01/17/2009, 10:13 AM

I have been wanting to replace my Aquac 240 for a while now. I have been very intrigued by the Warner Marine AS200. I have a predominantly SPS 150 gallon tank. My AQUA C seemed to have lost its "ummph" and it takes a long time for me to dial it in when I turn it off to clean it. I have heard great things about the AS200. Jon Warner gives great support on his products so I could not wait to get this bad boy. I will be building a new sump this weekend to add a tad more water volume and to have space to place the skimmer.

I will post pics as soon as I get things going this weekend.
If anyone has any advice or tips, please post them here.

What is the optimal water level/depth for this skimmer? It currently is setup to sit in 8".

Thank you,

Thank you,

I think 7-8" is the sweet spot for this skimmer. I tried 9" & 10" but the pump pulled less air.
