BK400ext finally arrived.

My first impression when i see the box "man, why did Scott use such a huge box for a small protein skimmer"

When i open the box, i was speechless. I saw this huge collection cup being wrap very well with bubble wrap and next to is the skimmer body. Fortunately nothing is broking or scratch. I will post some pic this weekend when i have it up and running.

You couldn't wait an extra 60 min for me to get to the shop so I can see it before you take off with it ha? If your free tomorrow I have the day off and would like to come over to take a look for myself. LMK I have to be at the shop at 3pm as always so it would have to be before that.

I have been saving for that protein skimmer for a long time. I am in the military for 10 yrs. I will feed the skimmer 300-500gph from my overflow box.

I think you should hire the Hollywood filming crew, this thing looks awesome, the biggest one I've ever seen. Did you dream about BK400 while you're at sleep?
