Debating on bring it back with me. It was in a LFS and ran 2,000 of water off it. Counter current air stone. With the foam towers on its like 4' tall. Would work best in a fishroom or somthing like that.

Sorry Larry, I should have been more clear on this. It's free. :)

THEDLO- There are air stones at the bottom of the chamber and water gets pumped into the top and drains from the bottom making it a counter current. Kinda hard to explain to make sense, but if you look them up online there an old-school type of skimmer. They still rock though.

sounds like a killer skimmer. I made one about 8 yrs ago, ol style 5' tall with 6" dia clear pvc tube, top notch venturi air, and powered by a little giant.

Went out of fashion as people wanted shorter and smaller to fit under stands and more efficient.

Cool! I'm sure it can be modded to work of a venturi :D

That works. Just make sure you bring a truck or SUV.

Actually...I did call, Monday night to be exact. :hmm3: I failed to leave a message or fallow up though.

If George can use it then by all means he can have it, I've just been super busy lately. Not that I am ungrateful to you, Justin, for bringing the skimmer all the way from AZ, i just dont have the time at the moment to get to LI :/
