I've got some pics, but my USB cord seems to have gone bad? :confused: Anyway I will upload them when I get a new one. The break in was about 12 hours.... :eek: and after that it took off.

One thing I have discovered is we will be doing the cup mod to empty direct into the sewer cause WHOA this stuff stinks bad..... :lol:

I wonder why Euroreef has not implemented a cup modification yet? They could sell waste traps like the Bullet skimmer has.

Well, these are the first external skimmers, and this one is LARGE. An external waste cup would still leave a stinky solution and it would be even LARGER .. :eek:

I think they firmly believe in keeping the cup clean to enhance skimmer performance. The simplicity of their design, expecially compared to thunb screw becketts, make this easy to do. :smile:

This waste collection cup may be the answer to your smell problem:

[EmilyB]

Thanks Vic. I think we are just going to tap into the nearby drain pipe, and put a valve on the hose from the cup. :smile:

[Jason McK]

any pics of that bad boy yet?? :)

The local Sony doesn't have a USB cord for our camera so we had to order one of out Burnaby. At least I am hoping it is only the USB cord and not the camera itself.... :eek:

There are some pics on the camera but I can't unload them. :evil:

Barry just loves taking the cup into his shower to wash it..... :redface:

Emily, what model of camera is that? I would take it to the FutureShop first. Most of the USB cords are pretty standard and interchangeable among the cameras even made by different manufacturers. You might be able to find the match. What's even better, IMO, is to get USB media reader that plugs to your computer. Depends on the media type, your camera uses, you should be able to get one for $20-$30. Cable wouldn't be much if any cheaper.

[EmilyB]

Thanks Robert. I was wondering about that. But everyone else's camera seems to have a different connection. It's a Sony DSC-S70 3.1. I'll run by FS tomorrow on the off chance they might have it.

[EmilyB]

No luck at future shop, but thanks Alan for this pic:

[MitchM]

That sure is purty!

:mrgreen:

Mitch

[Doug]

Even nicer in action.

:mrgreen:

Whats the feed pump?

[MitchM]

Have you tried a "power out" to see if it will start up again on it's own?

Mitch

[EmilyB]

Doug, the feed pump is a Quiet One, about 765(?)gph, throttled way back.

Mitch, yes, and all the pumps for the skimmer are on one power bar so we can turn it off to empty the cup.
