Ok, just a couple of pics.

Fresh water:

Saltwater - 2 minutes after installing. I'm amazed at the density of the bubbles....

Aren't they cool? Love mine.

Very! I'd have to say the only thing I was a little surprised (maybe dissapointed) was the way they put the joints together. Almost like a bead of melted plastic? I have one spot I need to re-glue on the very top cap. Not a big deal though...

Very nice Walter

I'm sure that will be one of your best purchases ever.
For a split second there I thought Euroreef had brought out a new "binford" model with a stainless output pipe

This so far is the best I've been able to get from the skimmer. I found a problem with my RO/DI that I think is causing this. This is 1 day of skimming, but it's WAY to wet

Have you tried flipping over the outlet pipe? To lower the water level in the skimmer? It makes the skimmate thicker and drier as the foam concentrates more before going into the collection cup.

Not sure I know what you mean by flipping it over, as far as I can tell my outter tube pipe is as low as it will go... it goes back to the RO/DI. When I added topup water the skimmer would blow over no matter what I did. I was also told on RC to do the gate valve mod, it will make adjusting alot easier!

Well, see how things go now that I'm using bottled water for a bit...
