Yeah it does look like it needs a little more height. Awesome job on it, that thing looks very proffesional.

Dope, I like your kalk reactor too. When are you going into business? Heck can I just hit you up for a custom collection cup top? Would love one of my designs on one. Haha

Keep it up.

that is the only way i have been running it.

the only thing i have turned down is the 2" gate valve on the darts intake. but i dont have it turned down much, maybe 3 full turns off open or so.


i think i might need to adjust the water level, i have been running it kinda low to avoid an overflow, but so far it has been pretty constant.

Awsome job. Thanks for the pictures. It's nice to have a laser. Gets me thinking of moding my Aero former 648.

finally cleaned the collection cup.

Looks sweet. If your skimmer is anything like mine you'll get better performance with a little higher water level. It's one of those set it and sit down with a 6 pack to see if it's going to overflow But once you get it set it will really start pulling out some dark skinmate.
