2000g System overview

[jnarowe]

:lol: no kidding. I picked that bucket up because it is 6g rather than the standard 5g and it has a really good strong flat lid for attaching BHs to. I really like it. They were sold as coolers and came with a styrofoam insert.

What you are looking for is not possible to be used with these types of skimmers. Only downdrafts or becket skimmers can have an auto shut off due to their designs. I had one with my previous becket skimmer and they do work well for them.

Not exactly the same thing, but you could always put an electronic float valve at the top of the bucket that kicks your skimmer pump off.

That naso is sweet, but looks a little dumb. Have you gotten it to spell anything yet?? :lol:

 

[chrisaggie]

Guess what....... Chanukah Came early for me

You know you have a big skimmer when it take 5 huge fed ex boxes to ship it

A whole box of bulkheads and fittings

BIG - O - CONE - HEAD

a whole latta skimmer mate cup. Look in the back round at the table for reference.

Base units with dart attached:

Last but not least the moster him self "the body". Its 18" Acrylic about 4' tall look in the backround for reference.

Well gotta go and build it. Will be back in about two weeks after I figure out how to put it all togther. So don't bother me with question....

[z28pwr]

WOW.

That thing is going to pull the salt out of the water. Seems to me like you need to upgrade to a bigger tank to feed that skimmer .

 

[audioaddiction]

i would like to upgrade my tank to hold as many gallons as your skimmer does!
