Hey fellas ... how about a little help here I seem to be having a little with my 6 month old ES 6-3 that has been working flawlessly till i decided to clean the pump ....
Check out this thread http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=551217
It appears another has had the same problem so I am assuming the symptoms are common and the solution may be something simple I am overlooking.

I've noticed something and I'm not sure if it is normal or not. Some collection cups have condensation on the inside outter walls. Some are clear. The ones that are clear of condensation seem to skim better. Why is this? Do I have to seal the collection cup top with a o ring?

Yes that is a good deal considering the cs6+2 go for $412.00 - $450.00 new. The skimmer is good for a 75 gallon tank, it's rated for a 150 gallons.
California Man: I noticed that when ever I install a new skimmer or when I clean my skimmer, there is a lot of condensation it at first. When it starts working (producing skimmate) it goes away and is replaced by foam. It was true with my Seaclone, my Aqua C EV-150, and now, with my ER CS 6-2+. It is probably due to the water evaporating from the bottom of the skimmer rising through the open neck (with no foam) into the cup. It stops when the neck is filled with thick foam. Right or wrong, my 2 cents.

It makes perfect sense... and yes your two cents did count and made sense. My skimmer after 72 hours is rocking and doing very well. The foam seems to be getting thicker and bubbles are larger. The collection cup is below a quarter full and getting darker and darker as time goes by. The neck where the foam enters the collection cup is getting dark brown film around the inside. I think my skimmer is well on it's way. My tanks water quality I'm sure is improving with the oxygenation and water contact with air. I love my first euro reef! :rollface:

Can someone tell me the diameter of the riser tube on the 8 series?

How often should you clean the neck of the skimmer where the brown buildup grows?

Alright thanks for the information.

I've been doing some research on these Euro's and I found that you can modify the skimmer and attach an additional pump to create more bubbles therefor making the skimmer more and highly effcient. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Depending on the size of the skimmer. Some of the skimmers from ER's are spec'd with two pumps. They are typically the larger models, 8-3 and up. I'm not saying it can't be done though. You just have to find the right pump I guess. I will say that Arconom had the beta upgrade done to his CS6-2 and now it is over-powerd. You might expirience the same issue by adding another pump to your 6-2+. Jim

That's what I was afraid of, over doing the production of micro bubbles can be a real issue. Too many bubbles in the tank can kill your live stock. That's like blowing nitrogen dioxide into your room for air to breath.

Does anyone know of a diffrent pump I can use for my CS6+2 besides the Sedra? it's makes too much noise and vibrates my entire DIY 55 gallon sump/ecosystem.
