I have two glass pieces 8 cm wide at the side of my tank 2.5cm from brim, will I have problems clamping the deltec 600 to the tank side ?

like eurobracing?

 

[boxerzz]

yeah but only at sides

 

[GSMguy]

8 cm you will be fine

 

[boxerzz]

nhow about the 2.5 cm is it enough to hang the skimmer ?

 

[GSMguy]

where is the 2.5cm? is that how thick it is?

 

[boxerzz]

hmmm, I don't have a pic here, I will try to describe what I can. my tank is glass about 1 cm thick with an open top. The two glass plates are 8 cm in width 1 cm thick joined at the sides of my tank 2.5cm from the top.

 

[GSMguy]

thats eurobracing but its inside the tank not on top?

 

[boxerzz]

yeah in tank but not exactly at top

 

[GSMguy]

word let me look i think i get it now its 8cm wide and 2.5cm from the rim.

sounds like a nice tank is it custom or are you in europe?

 

[GSMguy]

i just measured my skimmer and it would either fit perfectly or it might bump the bracing.

 

[boxerzz]

The tank was not custom I am in SG, and thanks a lot for your help ! Time to get one soon !

Has anyone used the Precision Marine hang on back model?

I'm setting up a 46 FOWL and don't want to run a sump with this tank.

I vaguely remember someone posting a thread that he liked his PM HOB, but it has been a while. Looks OK, but not really better than the typhoon for much less. For your 46 fowlr I would get a D&D marine typhoon.

Remora Pro HANDS DOWN... Done research...purchase the other brands already. LEARN from my mistakes

^ It never fails :lol:

Whenever a HOB skimmer is mentioned someone always chime in with a Remora.

yeah, you should see the chopping im doing on a remora pro someone sold me for cheap...worthless p.o.s.
chopped out the injector, and now im wondering if i want my mesh modded pump to imput above the water surface to see if it will suck up any more air, or if i have to lengthen the imput pipe so it injects under the water surface, i made one of both so i can try it out each way...

My girlfriend used to run a 72bow on a PM HOB1. Grew pretty much everything but acroporids in there, and had quite a few fish. I never used the thing, but she seemed impressed by it.

Has anyone tried a DIY hang on skimmer?? Does anyone know how good the visi-jet skimmer is? I saw it at DRSFS.
