[klam114]

i have had this skimmer for a couple of months and now i could say i am part of the club as i just finished setting it up. i had to redo my sump setup on my 50 gallon cuz skimmer would not fit in old sump. skimmer running for about a week now. got it new from Ed at KMA Intl. so glad that he is local to me as he and his partner has been so helpful with everything. can't go wrong cuz they're always there to help me if i had a problem.

this is how new sump looks:

Ed says I'm running too dry, so I will readjust. i am so glad he suggested a recirculating skimmer for my 50g reef, it's perfect. if anyone ever needs H&S equipment, i highly recommend them as their customer service is outageously excellent. :thumbsup: i was previously running a prizm on this tank and it never collected very much, so have a lot of catching up to do.

looking like a winner. glad is working out good.

How are you cleaning the cup? I noticed that when I use a paper towel (Viva Brand) soaked in Vinegar, the skimmer starts to skimm pretty quickly.

now i just clean everything with warm water, cup and all. when done it looks like new and skim like this the very next day.

quick question - is the footprint of your skimmer 11.5" x 5.5"? is the base a acrylic?

[klam114]

sorry, i didn't notice the question. i'm not sure as the skimmer isn't with me right now. just moved and lots of remodeling going on, so taking a short break from the hobby. maybe Fins Reef can answer your question about footprint. the base is grey PVC, very sturdy. i prefer the grey PVC over acrylic or ABS material.
