Thanks, I have enjoyed building it and am already looking forward to the next build/upgrade.
The skimmer has turned out quite interesting, as you know the pump died and I had no skimmer over the weekend. Kevin from Red Coral kindly loaned me a reeflo dart to tide me over. I replaced the plumbing to the skimmer and turned it on with great reservation.
The skimmer manufacturer recommends a 1000gph pump to get best results, the dart theoretically kicks out about 3600gph and I had visions of water spraying around etc.
The skimmer has never worked better and almost instantly started producing a lovely thick foam. I must admit all thoughts of replacing the skimmer have been put on hold for the moment. I may well be heading up to RC for a new dart to power the skimmer.
Strange how things work out! Have you got all your bits sold yet?
