It's running like a champ churning water. If it's doing this with freshwater, saltwater should be like a storm in there. I had a few last minute plumbing changes, so it worked well allowing this to churn for 12-24 hr or so. And yes, all boxes, items, and such must be inspected by the local authority and sniffed accordingly
Occasionally a good rub on the item is required.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=6517858#post6517858 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by slovan
RokleM,
That skimmer is a beast! Is it the standard 28" tall or is it taller than that? Congrats on a very well built skimmer. GEO is an awesome guy to work with too!
No, I had a ton of room to work with, so it actually sits at about 34" total. If you think this is big, you should see some of the custom equipment for phishybusiness.com and such. You're right about the quality as far as I can tell. As soon as you pick the thing up you can tell it's built like a rock.
I'm going to let this compete with my AquaC 120 for a few days
:eek2: I'll post more once it's running, but I figured you guys who didn't have one of his skimmers would like to see how some of his stuff is currently looking.

Let me preface this with a couple of notes:
1) My AquaC 120 has been running in my 100 gallon sump for a while (and in my old 20 gallon sump before the upgrade). It continues to run as I type. It has always done OK per say, but isn't performing well in the open water. I empty decently dark skimmate about every week to week and a half.
2) I have a light bio-load right now (couple dozen snails, 2 cleaner shrimp, 2 1.5" goby's, and 2 less than 1.5" clowns).
Image from yesterday in freshwater:
The seconds and/or minutes of initial startup are as follows (has not had any salt water in it up until this point):
30 seconds:
1 minute:
1 minute 30 seconds:
2 minutes:
3 minutes:
I let the water drop to see what stuck on the rim, at 4 minutes:
Now, first realize that is green goop it's collected already, then go back and re-read the first two statements I made

Well, my kalk reactor shipped today so I believe I am officially part of the club. Still the president of the MRC club though.
After reading about the 'stir bar' type of kalk reactor, I decided against it and decided to go with a GEO instead. Thanks to those answering my questions earlier on in this thread.

Wow! Instant results, can't complain about that.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=6525520#post6525520 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by RokleM

Keep us posted on what your first full cup looks like in a couple of days and what it looks like in a few weeks. It'd be interesting to see how much it can remove initially and what it will look like running normally.If there were different levels of membership to this club, you'd definitely be a gold card carrying member! :lol:
