Not far down the list I had asked what kind of skimmer I had that came as a 'kit' with my tank. (Used) The Euro Reef Skimmer came with ‘later discovered faulted areas’ that makes this skimmer useless.

Well, that just means I can get a new skimmer! Yay. You know there are a lot of skimmers I’ve read so far and yeah, they’re all neato new (like self cleaning options), I need some guidance; anyone for advice or what you are using is welcomed. For example, counter
current, that’s neato. What’s tried tested and true?
(FYI, I have a total water volume of 270 (and later upgrade top a 400g) with a high bio load. So what skimmer would you suggest? My sump and equipment have no ‘clearance restrictions’ as everything is below in the basement (5’ head).)

PS. I am pretty sure that some handy DIY’rs might like the parts from this ER Skimmer. I would trade for it; if you have anything like a test kit or two… just ask/offer. J I’ll hold onto it for a bit before I toss it.
Oh, happy v day to all.:wink:
