Sorry if the information I'm going to ask has been covered. Been trying to do a search but the search function seems to be forever unavailable...

Is the T output glued to the pipe or is adjustable? The reason I'm asking is on my A200-2x1260, the T faces to the right if you look from the front. I tried twisting it or pulling it off but with VERY little force. Was not sure if it's permanently glued or not and figured safe to ask 1st.

With the skimmer, I got a barbed adapter for the input and a metric conversion kit for the output. Do you guys PVC glue these in permanently?

For those that use a feed pump, what pump do you guys use for this skimmer?

Thanks for the help...

Joe

The T output is removeable. Take the conversion fitting and easily move the t side to side to loosen. For a permant installation you can glue the fittings. If you plan on moving the skimmer around or rearranging, it is best to try to use teflon tape instead of gluing the fittings.
As for a feed pump you will want ~ 500gph for the A200-2x1260.
