I talked my friend into buying a octopus recirc 110 skimmer and they sent him the new one (ext-ps-120). It came with only a diagram and no instructions on how to hookup. I have a euroreef insump skimmer and dont know much about his but i think we put it together right. Does anyone have one and can post some pics of the setup so i can see if i got it right before we put it in his house (test ran it w/ a bucket outside). During the test run, the pipe that says open/closed had no effect on the skimmer when turned and i think it should (my euro freaks out if i budge it), barely any bubbles in main chamber, and im not sure (but i think i am right) that the tee under the open/closed pipe is for the return to the sump but if it is do i use pvc cement to seal it (during test it leaked...obviously cuz it had no cement).
This skimmer is not mine and i dont want to cement anything unless i know we are right. Please help me guys... I searched for instructions, manuals, videos... but all i find is on the older model dnw110 and they are different. I can also provide you my cell if you can walk me thru this.
If no one knows then ill post a pic and or a video tomorrow to show how it runs (a test run outside) that way i can get some feedback.
Also, I think we were pumping in water too fast (using a mag pump 250gph) and it overflowed the skimmer but when we used a ball valve on the intake line and slowed it a bit it stopped the overflowing...????....
Ill be sitting here waiting/praying on some responses!!!!!
Also, if anyone knows how to set it up and wants to help ,it would be greatly appreciated... we r in the kendall/bird rd area of miami and can use the help. This is for my neighbor and hes a good guy and im just trying to help him out since hes new in our hobby.
Thanks
