Well I also wanted to say I am gladly part of the club. I just got my 250 from Mike at Reefspecialty. First off want to give a big thumbs up to him, amazing customer service, compared to a couple of other places I was looking at buying this skimmer from. I will be setting it up this weekend, but I had to unpack it to see this skimmer and even though I knew it was a big skimmer, I was still blown away at the size, this skimmer is a beast and very well built, my wife could not believe the size and she is now scared that I am going to stink up the basement with what this is going to pull out.
Now I know this is one long thread and I have been following it, but with out having to go through it all again, can some of the people give a set up help list of what some of us new people should do or look out for. Thanks.
Congrats on your new skimmer. You will be more than pleased. One nice thing about purchasing the skimmer from RS, Mike will walk you through the whole setup. This way it will be set up correctly the first time around. Once your ready to set it up give him a call, he will walk your through it step by step. You will need extra teflon tape, silicone grease (which I believe he supplies with his skimmers), PVC cleaner, PVC Glue, feed pump, ball valve for the feed line and what ever plumbing you will need to plumb it to your setup.
