Tks mike,

But I probably did not explain myself well, I mean a tube with liquid silicone (like a gel) in it.....it is probably to lube a part of the skimmer...but I dont know which one....

Hope someone can be of help....

tks Marco

If its the same as I got with mine called Lifeguard Silicone, then its an "O" ring lubricant. I use it on the "O" rings on my reactor and beckett skimmer.

It will take a couple days to break in. The interior needs to season a bit. :smile:

Deb,
Jeff sent it to me, along with a cleaning brush, when I purchased a new Sedra 5000.

He,he. :smile:

If I remember correct, he forgot to send it or something. So he sent it by some fancy courier,{expensive at his cost} and included the small gifts.

Pretty darn good customer service, if you ask me.
