Got my new CS1000+ Skimmer up and running!

Check out this Euro-Reef skimmer now running on my 1200gal SPS coral farm!



It's a modified/beefed up RC1000 built by Euro-Reef. It Stands 56" tall, has a 1 1/2" inlet, 2" outlet and uses 7 EHIEM NW pumps! Fits like a glove. They fallowed my space requirements to a tee and were able to also add an extra 4" to the reaction chamber and another 4" to the riser tube. I added another 5" to out-flow tube to get the water level into the riser tube, and I also added a little mesh modification to each impeller to make the bubbles even smaller.




Here is a shot 16hr later


This is what I used to get in a week with the old DIY skimmer!
This was with just 4 of the 7 pumps running over night!

I ended up undoing my out-flow extension, lowering back to where it was and tested it with all 7 pumps. Here is what that looked like.

and looking at the bottom skimmer from another angle


Very impressive!
