New ATB 840

[OrrG]

Just got done hooking up my new ATB Econo Cone 840. It is dead silent and a work of art, very well put together. I'm going to let it run overnight and then start making some adjustments to find the sweet spot. I'll post some more pics with what it pulls out over the next few days. I have mine in 7" of water, anyone run theirs higher or lower?

Nice skimmer, Corey.

Do you have your RO unit hooked up to your sump? How does that work

 

[Kreeger1]

looks like that ro unit housing holds carbon and gfo. You can see by the maxi-jet pump hooked up to it that it's not being used as ro. I believe bulk reef supply sells kits like that

It looks like an RO unit but it's the BRS dual reactor for GFO and carbon. After a week of use my phosphates are undetectable. Used to be around .05

Nice!!

Thanks for the clarification

Well how is she skimming for you? Thanks.

The skimmer is doing an amazing job! I was hoping to get some pics of what it pulled out over the last week but my fiance forgot the camera over her friends. I get more nasty skimmate in 2 days than I got all week with my ASM G2. I finally found the perfect spot for the wedgepipe and am really pulling out some dark stuff and I only have 3 fish. Now that I see all the crap my old skimmer wasn't pulling out I can say the ATB is worth every penny.

Sweet. Thanks for the info. I think ATB is one of the best skimmers today for sure. How about some tank shots? Thanks.
