yeah, I liked the EuroLoc too. Nothing has worked better than that. I don't like the bayonet. It is too tight to turn,. so I don't. I just push the collection cup down and levae it there. The oring holds it tight, but I await teh day of an accident, I do have five felines that like to jump on the skimmer.

yeah the bayoney on the H&s's I've owned was well built, but very very hard to get off sometimes. I had to squeeze the collection cup to the point I thought it that it would bend and i though it might crack (this was on the smaller models, a110 and 90-f1000).

Scott,
I'm only considering the gate valve for now. I'm WAY to chicken to try the RC mod for now on a brand new skimmer. If I had an accident the wife would kill me. What are you opinions on the mods? The gatevalve one certainly seems highlt recommended.

got a question for the experts out there. I bought an 8-3 used and it was recirculated ASM style with a sedra 9000. Its not producing the skimmate i want and I know the tank has a lot ot skim because of another skimmer i used previously for a test run. Its being fed by a MJ 600 right now. i was wondering if it would help if I added another 3500 NW to feed. Or what would you guys recommend?

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger and just buying the new RS 250. These skimmer options are just driving me crazy. For the price and the apparent performance this seams like as good as it gets.
Does anybody want to give me some feedback on the new RS series, thoughts good or bad. I'm going to put it on a 160, but it seams like its got plenty of capacity to handle a well stocked 160. Any feed back will be greatly appriciated. MGB |

I love my RS 80 so far. Its well built and skimming well. I have been in contact with ER with some questions I have via email and they have been answered promptly.
NOTICE: If you bought an RS 80 after sept 1st of this year and you have the white pin wheel. ER will replace it for free with the NEW impeller, just contact them for details. |

I talked to ER yesterday they think its the o-ring it might be a little thick so their sending me a thinner o-ring the other thing they mentioned is that i shouldn't try to snug the collection cup all the way.

so if i want, i can get the impeller upgrade for my RS80, but i have to send in my impeller assembly to get the upgrade. is it worth doing?

Call Chip (1877-hey-euro)
Tell him that you would like to upgrade. See what he says. They might just send you one first, then you can send your old one back. That way your skimmer won't be down for a couple of days. They have done this for me and others, but they have also had problems with people not shipping their old stuff back in the past. HTH Jim

I just ordered a RS250 for our new 150 gal reef Whoo Hoo!
I decided the RS250 will be way more than I'll ever need for this tank. But since I'm not using a DSB the overskimming will be a good thing |

which skimmer did you order again?

i'm having trouble for a piece its $5.00 and they want me to spend 60 dollars to get it here to my place. Should have bought a Delec I would go deltec thou probably better service and a better skimmer..
Im not impressed with thier service. this is my opinion as stated

I have a EuroReef ES6 - 2+, and am considering the gate valve modification. Is it easy to do? What does it entail?
