That's a long riser neck. What's the theory behind that vs. the old Euro-Reefs?

umm...no idea. it is supposed to be the replacements for the ES5-2 (CS80). i think they are almost the exact same...the pic might just look off. i guess i will see when i get it

got a quick question. I was looking at the blems on H2O tropicals specifically the ES5-2 or 5-24. I will have a 45g with 20g sump would eigther one work or is there some thing else that would work better. Anyone have experience with the blems sense they only have a 30 day warranty on the skimmer body I am a little worried.

they will work fine
the ES5-2 is 20" tall i belive and the 5-24 is 24" tall. i believe that is the difference
so the new RS, CS, or RC 80 is 22" tall....it is similar to the old style of skimmers but they have improved them a little i believe. i'll have to see what my RC80 does!!

That is great to hear as I have looking for a skimmer for this march when I finally get every thing setup. The good thing is my stand has a lot of room on the inside I could fit a 25"X14.5"X20" sump in there is I had too. lol What I will be building is 24"X14"X16" with 12" baffles. 9"X14"X12" skimmer 6"X14"X12 return area with a 7"X14"X12" fuge. I was going to use a 1" bulkhead for the sump input with a tee and ball valve that goes to fuge and the skimmer area. Should work at least it does in my head lol

My new CS250 arrived today, so I'm back in the club! (former CS6-1 owner)
Other than a small problem with the pump matching up to the skimmer body (detailed in this thread in the Euro Reef forum, this thing is a work of art!
I'll post some more pics once the skimmer is up and running, but here's one of it right out of the box (that Gen-X 6000 pump is huge!):

what is a bayonet fitting? the cups on mine are always a pain to get loose.

It's a small boo boo and being taken care of, but was disappointing to discover nonetheless.
This is the first ER skimmer with Bayonet that I've had, so I can't comment on how it's removal compares to the fittings that were causing problems earlier this year. But the collection cup does come off without any commotion, contrasted to the collection cup on the DAS BX-2 (same basic design) that I'm currently running.

Help,
I have an ES5. My pump just blew. This has been an awsome machine since I got it almost 1 year ago. The pump just stopped. Anyone else have this problem. I have cleaned it thoroughly in the past. It is the Sedra Powerhead model KSP-3500 pump that came with the unit. Thanks Tim

Out with the old (DAS BX-2):
In with the new (ER CS250):
I discovered that eggcrate layed flat under the skimmer is the perfect height to match the pump, so I decided to get it running this evening. The DAS was nice (the skimmate in the pic above was collected in 4 days), but was getting up there in its age and wasn't very easy to maintain. The ER impresses me already by the amount of air that the pump draws.
