skimmer for 400 gallon system

Damn, that looks so simple! What pump is that?

Definitely leaning towards a high bioload but will be building up slowly from what's in my 90 now.

Wow, I just noticed - I'm going to be using the same calcium reactor!! How do you like it?
 
+1 on the MTC

I had mine modded with a taller 'reaction' chamber. Been quite happy with it. Plus, I've known the MTC chaps for many decades and nobody makes better quality equipment.



I'm so glad I'm not the only person with wires everywhere,lookalike a blueline 70

Occupational hazard :lol: Recently replaced my sump and used that as an opportunity to organize the wires and pipes a bit better - but only a bit! Pump is actually a Blueline 40/PanWorld 100.

Is my second oldest running piece of equipment. I've modded it a bit (pH probe port, smaller circulation pump, masterflex feed) but it's been a terrific perfomer.
 
Sweet! I've been considering similar mods. Just bought a masterflex on ebay!

Anything challenging about the PH port?

Initially I was thinking about drilling the lid, but a tap set is one of the few tools I don't own; so I just plumbed it into the circulation pump. Works fine.



You will also have to change the way the water flows between chamber one and two to prevent air from building up. I just used the red vent line from chamber one to feed chamber two.

Apologies to the OP for the hijack .....
 
Got it - thanks. Probably will have more questions on the vent line but will connect with ya later.

Apologies, OP!!
