Just be careful with dissolved oxygen...

Ok some of you westcoasters have to have yours. Wassup with that? Let a reefer know. LOL

I have a feeling you'll be busy setting that badboy up

But I can't wait to see some pics!

look forward to seeing some pics and initial review of materials, quality of build, noise, etc..

Creetin · 11/01/2006, 04:29 PM

Mine comes friday, I cant wait. Tank should be ripe, I have been skimmerless for 2 weeks. I will run it in vinegar and install immediately.
Good thing i have small fish and alot of water volume, Or i would be in trouble just doing waterchanges.

otterpop510 · 11/01/2006, 04:37 PM

good deal creetin.. sounds like a nice test tank..

merlock116 · 11/01/2006, 05:51 PM

is it 6 yet?

Maximus · 11/01/2006, 06:14 PM

LOL! As I was coming home, I spotted the UPS truck!! Haha, I did a u-turn but he lost me

Guess I'll have to wait!

MimicTang · 11/01/2006, 07:47 PM

go to your local UPS dispatch and pick it up.

Maximus · 11/01/2006, 08:01 PM

It's here!! Seems like a solidly built skimmer. The only thing is that it's going to take me 6 hrs to hook it up. Why do you ask? Because it won't clear my stand

I have to physically take out my entire sump and place the skimmer in it. Then I can place the sump back. I knew it wouldn't be easy

Here are a couple pics to tie you over:

Newreeflady · 11/01/2006, 08:03 PM

Glad i'm not the only one who will have to do that (misery loves company you know.)

Beautiful skimmer, btw

You know that is bad karma right?

Maximus · 11/01/2006, 08:08 PM

Well, looks like this skimmer is not going to work for me

The cup is just too tall and wont clear my sump and stand. Damnit!!

Maximus · 11/01/2006, 08:08 PM

Bad karma strikes me down

Maximus · 11/01/2006, 08:09 PM

sherm71tank · 11/01/2006, 08:09 PM

Ouch..... Sorry it got ya.

Maximus · 11/01/2006, 08:13 PM

Here's the height:

Length:

Width:

Quatro · 11/01/2006, 08:18 PM

So, it takes more than 2 inches to get the cup off? I thought you said you only had 23" to work with?

Wow, too bad Sang. The BM200 is rated up to 250 gallons and is shorter, so you could go that route. Wanna trade

?

Can you retrofit the skimmer anyway? Shave off the collection part to give yourself another 1/4" or however much more you need?

Thanks for the pics tho. Put that bad boy in a bucket with water and pour your ER's skimmate so we can all stare at the bubbles.....

Maximus · 11/01/2006, 08:21 PM

LOL Harry. I am so bummed out. The only way I could make it work is to cut my sump. Hmm, that's an idea.

Mchava · 11/01/2006, 08:22 PM

Beautiful skimmer, btw -A __________________ A university professor went to visit a famous Zen master. While the master quietly served tea, the professor talked about Zen. The master poured the visitor’s cup to the brim, and then kept pouring. The professor watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. “It’s overfull! No more will go in!” the professor blurted. “You are like this cup,” the master replied, “How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup.” Current Tank Info: 56g, 20g.
