Got it up and running, I'm going to get some spa hose from Lowe's or menards and redo the counter current but I am very pleased with my purchase. Jeff was great!

FWIW I'm running the SVS-24 with the Vectra M1 at 95% for my 180.

Massive increase in bubbles from the MD 9.5.

Is anyone running the airline feed to the venture from outside of their house?
If yes, how is connected and what are you doing with the hole in the collection cup that normally feeds air from inside the cup?
Thanks

I have before and recommend using a t with 1 end connected to the cup and the other to the line outside with a ball valve on this line. This allowed me to bring in the most outside air possible while also bringing in enough moist air to keep the Venturi clear.

Watdachuck can you post a video of the m1 pump on the svs24 ? I plumbed th s1 to it at 100% and getting bubbles but was wondering if I swap it out I would get more bubbles

Just installed the 24 inch skimmer in my 40 breeder tank. It's a bit much to squeeze into the 20 long sump but it has a bigger home coming in the future.

Anyone interested in trading lps for a brand new mazzei injector. Bought it thinking I would upgrade but changed my mind.

Darn it just seeing this now! I just ordered a 4" extension for my SVS3-24 along with a Mazzei Venturi. I am pretty well convinced that I am not seeing the full potential of the Vectra M1 with the 24" skimmer and basic venturi model. It will be a fun experiment to see the difference once both are installed. I am expecting more air to be injected along with greater contact time in the extended skimmer body.
