Update, Good News!
The skimmers are on pallets and shipping out to me today, so I am hoping to either have them next Tuesday (July 3rd), or at the latest Thursday (July 5th). We will ship these beasts right out the door as the pallets are dropped off!
Thanks,
Jeremy

Jeremy and/or Nick,
I have been following this thread and am currently in the market for a new skimmer for my tank.
I have a few questions I was hoping you could answer:
1. Would this be a gross overkill on a 210 gal display with 265 gal total water volume? Med to heavily stocked.
2. How far up is the return pipe? I an concerned with how high it needs to be to clear the side of my sump wall. What is height of its range (lowest setting, to the highest).
3. How is the noise? Is it pretty quiet, I too would have it plumbed to sit next to tank outside the cabinet.
Thanks,
Craig

1. I honestly do not think it would be way overkill, however I have always been a big fan of putting large skimmers on tanks too. It will however be more skimmer than what you would ever need on that size tank. If you compare it to the Deltec that would be recommended for your tank, such as the AP701 which retails for $1079, then you're only $220 over the price of Deltec, and getting a heck of a lot more skimmer to boot that you can grow with. If you "never" plan on upgrading to a larger system though, then it might be wise to just go with something smaller and save the money for something else. You could grow quite a bit with this skimmer though and not have any worries at all.
2. The bottom of the return pipe is at 18". This is a fixed height, and you would not be able to alter this unless you wanted to try some gate valve modification with it and lower it some. After you come out of the "T" fitting then you could lower it as much as you want, but you really can't go any higher than what it is at now.
3. The skimmer is extremely quiet, to where you can't even hear it running unless you're in a room that is completely silent and you're right up on top of it.
Thanks,
Jeremy
