Sorry Catherine there is no return pump available for sale as I will be using it on the new tank.

Oh, um, I just realized that due to the awkward dimensions of the stand that there is no way it is going to be able to leave that room in one piece. It is screwed and glued together so disasembling might not be pretty. Actually I KNOW it won't be pretty. Just keep that in mind in case that is a deal breaker for you.

Unfortunately that is probably not doing to cut it. The skimmer is 22.8 inches tall, and you'd need another 3 to 4 inches to comfortably remove the collection cup. That doesn't give you a heck of a lot of room to play with. However, the skimmer can be placed outside of the sump if that makes a difference at all.

This skimmer kicks A S S!!! I have the Hydor 1000 model, and can say it is whisper quiet and really works well. That is a great price, can't believe it hasn't gone yet.

Wow, skimmer still not gone.

Hydor makes a great skimmer, that is what I use exclusively now. Well worth having, as they are recirc and pull lots of crud out.

Rick I'm really contempating picking up this skimmer but I read a review that said that collection cup was a PITA and that it couldn't pull dark skimmate. Any insight?

I have two of these skimmers, one used for the 150g reef and one for the former 104.72 lagoon. Oddly enough, the cup on one skimmer was quite easy to remove while the cup on the other was really hard to remove. I wonder if they figured this out in later productions and reduced the size of the o-ring holding the cup on. Anyway, with the skimmer that had the tough cup to remove I did a mod to the skimmer cup. The mod involves removing the o-ring and using a gasket instead. On one of these cups I also performed a mod to install a drain out of the skimmer cup.

For anyone wanting this skimmer you're welcome to any version of it, completely mod free or mods applied :-)

As for skimmate colour, both seemed to pull sufficiently dark skimmate in my opinion. I never really had a problem with its performance at all. I was quite happy with it on both the 150g and 104.72g. I would still be using it if I didn't add the extra 131g+ worth of volume to the system :neutral:

I would disagree, you can come over anytime and see what I am taking out. No tea mix for me, very dark nasty stuff. I am running the hydor 1000.

The collection cup needs to be forced in the top that has a o-ring in it (Yes this was a pain in the butt, and I was scared of it breaking over time). So I removed the o-ring, so there is no issue for me whatsoever. It works well and easy to remove and put back.

I love it, better than my EuroReef.

I'm running the Hydor 700 and pulling very dark nog as well. A collection cup of pudding every week! I've had no trouble with the o-ring but mine is less than a year old.
I've wanted to buy Kein's skimmer just cause a few times, however, I've been talked into some amazing Acans!
