I-Tech Skimmer Club .

I would put my 200 on my 75 also but there is not enough clearance under the stand. I should throw it in my rock curing tub.
 
I just got my 400 from the UPS guy. This thing looks really nice, build quality is as good if not better as any I've seen. Gonna start breaking it in tonight to see how it does!!!
 
I've seen this name on MR , same person?

lets see some pics of he skimmer running

My 200 arrived the other day but had to wait to get it installed till today. I too am very impressed with the build quality and have to say that John got back to me very fast with any questions I had for him, very pleased.
Here is my 200 only 5 minutes in my sump:

Bubbles it is making right away:

Another great thing is that I cannot believe how quiet the skimmer runs. Cant wait to see what it starts pulling out.
It is replacing an old Euroreef model F1 that was pretty noisy but pulled skimmate well.
 
You have to contact john directly. Check i-techskimmers.com

Mine arrived this morning. It was well packed. I have had about 20 skimmers and this is nicest build of them all. The model 100 came with all plumbing parts and directions. :thumbsup:

In the sump.

I'm using the Aquabee 2000/1 pump which I already had. Like I said before, the build quality is great. You can however see the cone seam easily. It does not bother me.

I was somewhat surprised by the number/layout of the holes in the bubble plate. There are far less than I would have expected.

The cup is easily removed from the body of the skimmer. The neck slips into a 3/8" (or so) recess, and is held tight via o-ring. Honestly, I've never seen this style assembly. I hope it holds up.

My favorite part of the skimmer (aside from the cone design) is the riser tube adjustment. Very clever.
 
I doubt if the neck assembly will be a problem. It's just a simple o-ring change if necessary. I also like that riser tube adjustment. Very simple to set and forget.
 
Time for a lil' update. The skimmer is getting better an better as time goes by, this is from last Sunday to today and dry skimming.

Cheers,

Wow Bimmerz! What are you skimming? The Gulf?

Can you guys be a little more descriptive about this riser adjustment?
Is it a wedge pipe or what?
Thanks.

Please keep me updated on performance M2G. I currently have the OCTO EXTREME 200 and I am running the sicce with purple PW.

Do you guys think I would be upgrading if I went with the I-Tech 100 or 200 for my 75gal? I plan on moving up to a 150g tank in the future.

Tanks yall!
 
This skimmer is going on a Marineland 200 DD which I am in the planning stages. as soon as I get started I'll direct everyone to the thread.
 
UPGRADE! UPGRADE!

I just picked up a newly designed pinwheel from John at Ichthy for my I-tech Medium / Sicce.

WoW! Here are my humble observations:

* Much more water / air chaos under bubble plate and swirls
around faster.
* Exiting bubble streams are under more pressure, taking the
bubbles to the top better.
*Different size bubbles! This is a Huge design improvement and
makes the final foam like the froth of guiness Stout.

Very Nice.
