What to upgrade my Skimmer

[Scales]

Unfortunately, I do not have a picture...it is a simple modification and I figured it out by searching ReefCentral...pump to venturi to skimmer...the Mag drive has a threaded outlet, some plumbing of whatever configuration you need for your set-up, threaded inlet on the skimmer...I had the newer model which is a simpler conversion from older models that had some form of venturi in the base of the skimmer (you apparently have to take this "stock venturi" out for the modification to work)...

I ran a long piece of tube from the venturi and hung it outside my sump...used a needle valve from Home Depot to control the amount of air (important or the skimmer overflows). I also put a ball valve between the pump and venturi, but found it ran wide open...not sure if it is necessary....but then again, I did not plumb in a straight line because of space concerns...to fit in my sump, I had a wacky set-up that involved several 90 degree angles which will likely have reduced the output of the pump...

This skimmer worked great when modified...when I move my corals from the 90g to a larger tank, I will convert the 90 to a FOWLR and again use this skimmer which is currently stored in my garage...you are welcome to come by and inspect the modified version...
