I just set my Eshopps R200 with an SRO 2000. I read that putting the SRO 2000 in 6" to 7" of water was optimal. So I created legs out of a thick 2" PVC pipe with egg crate from Home Depot as the platform. I cut the PVC to 4" plus the 1/4" egg crate put me at 4 1/4" high and since the water line is at 10 3/4" (the same height as the refugium bubble trap, it put my skimmer in 6 1/2" of water.
Within a few hours, I had some great skim. I am really impressed by the SRO 2000
I ended up using egg crate that I got from Sho Tank, and I created a letter H out of egg crate and zip ties, after that I put a top and bottom on the H. This raised my skimmer 1.75 inches which is perfect. My skimmer is alot more stable allready, and there is a very noticible noise difference.
I used the PVC method for years. Just take a 3 inch or wider piece of PVC, have them cut it the right length at home Depot. If you want it to sink, glue some rock to it.
Well.. googled ways to raise skimmer and this thread came up. Read thread and not one person ever mentions using a brick, which I had in mind. So thought I'd ask in the thread that had the very topic I have a question about (old or not) instead of starting a new thread... seems logical to me.. am I doing it wrong?
