I have a Cyclone CY192 system with the CS90 overflow, Rio 2100 pump and an Aqualifter pump. The setup was bought from another RC member several months ago for my 20g.
There is a chip on the intake tube for the skimmer, so a small % of air escapes. The skimmer itself did an ok job, its just a bit hard to tune...not that dark of skimmate, but decent IMO. I used an air pump with a stone to get more bubbles and it did help somewhat. For some reason I have an issue trying to keep the skimmer pump attached...I think it could be the way I attached it since when I first got the system it fit in fine. Also the clip that holds the air line for the venturi has broken, I honestly don't remember if I used the clip at all or it was broken before I got it. When I used it I just wedged it between something and it held.
On the Aqualifter the pump could be getting a bit weak, so it may need to be replaced. New tubing is included for the return pump. Overall its a decent sump system for someone looking for saving space.
Asking $150, or will trade for a Lumen Max 3 250w pendant, Bluewave 3, AC Jr, Ocean Clear filter, 2 phosban reactors, or a calcium reactor fit for a 250g. Pickup is in Santa Clarita/Canyon Country.
Pics coming up soon!
