Tagareef, is th line with the gate valve the feed to the skimmer?
Yes, it is.
Tagareef, if you could take some more detailed pics of your drain setup, that would be awesome.
My 250 should be here this week.
This is the best picture I could get of the gravity feed.
Two 1" drain lines from the reef feed in from the right. Two rigid 1" pvc act as legs and overflows for excess flow. Vented cap at the top. The blue 1/4" line is the effluent line from my CA reactor. Before it empties into the cap of the skimmer drain, it goes thru a mini stand pipe I built just for the ph monitor probe. The white 1/4" line is from my kalk reactor.
Here's a shot from the other side. The skimmer drains into a filter sock that is changed every few days.
