Our skimmer has only 1 pump....yours is bigger than ours...we had a very limited size that we could fit in the stand and 24" was max! Would have loved to go a bit bigger but...when you only have a certain space limit...you go with what you can. Our original plan was an ETSS but there was NO way it was going to fit! Oh well, I think Euroreef's are great! Time will tell!

All I'm hoping for is a clean healthy tank! I have heard so many good things about the Euroreef skimmers that it should work no matter what setup we have! Will post pics when it is up and running and the whole setup as I go...

i have had 2 euro reef's one on my 120 gal reef back in 2002 and now my last tank 170 my current one is a CS 250. the key to a good euro reef is the tiny bubbles and the small collection cup that they put on there. The small cup helps you keep the skimmer clean so better skimming.

On my beckett I never cleaned it honesty. I had to clean the collection cup and the beckett and the waste collector.

I put a mod on my CS 250 with a John guess fitting to drain. works prettu good too.i can fill the cup in 2-3 days really easy to do with dry skimmate.
