I just purchased a RS250 for my 180g tank and had a quick question on the recommended water level.
The manual is generic for all models and says that the optimal water level is 6"-8". This seems kind of weird because my RS80 is 22" tall and my RS250 is 30" tall, so I figured the bigger skimmer would proportionally have a higher water level. Does anyone w/ the RS250 have any real world recommendations for the water level? Should I use 6" on my RS80 and 8" on my RS250? or just shoot for 7" on both?

Hi,
I'm going to buy the same skimmer for my planned 180g as well.
I, too, am not getting any email responses from ER...
Can you do me a favor? Can you measure the height from the bottom of the skimmer to the bottom of the 90-degree elbow?
Also, are the pieces that make up that gate valve removable? Or are they glued in?
Thanks

Hi:
Recently I bough an Euroreef RS 100 and I'm in the middle of the registration process but I just cant find the serial number of the sedra 3500 pump. If someone can tell me were is it I will appreciate it.
Thank you,

Shag is right.
There is a Euro-Reef, Inc label on it. Its silver. The serial number is on it.
Tbone: I will messure the skimmer when I get into my office tomorrow and post here.

Thanks. I'm having a sump made, and I'm considering directing the skimmer's drain into the fuge. So I need to know how high (or low) to build the baffle. I also need to know if that gate valve is attached via slip fittings, and if they're glued in or not. I may need to mod it a bit to reach over to the fuge area.

Hmmm? I think my pump comes without the label.
Now, what can I do?

Tbone: From the bottom of the skimmer to the top of the 90 degree is about 11 1/4''. And you have 2'' in between the down pipe and the up pipe at the narrowest point (where the gate valve is). Also the pieces are slip fitted and glued.

What's the word on the 10" skimmers? I know Jeff said May/June as a target release date. Anyone have any further info?

Thanks a lot! Looks like it will be a tough mod with those distances and the fact that the pieces are glued. My planned baffle height for the fuge is 17", and the distance between the skimmer section and fuge is 3"
If I were to mod the up-pipe by replacing it with a longer piece, and I added a short, horizontal piece before the 90-degree, would that affect the skimmer's performance?
