I was using sro 3000sss model. It's great but pump start to suck at start up. Switch to sro elite 200. Love it. It's awsome!!! http://www.coralvue.com/elite-200int-protein-skimmer
Skimz Sm203. The same one that I'm running on my system. This is DC controllable which I find to be extremely useful when feeding certain foods and replacing filter socks (makes my skimmer go crazy). It's nice to just back off a speed or two and return to original setting later on.

Oh, and I empty the skimmer cup every 5/6 days. Skimmate is nice and dark, that could also because I feed a lot. And like Rich mention. The DC pump is awsome. My skimmer don't really go crazy except after water change and use excessive crazy glue causing overflow.

Hi, Duke,
I bought this but never ended up getting the bigger tank. So, the skimmer is still unused. LMK if you'd be interested in this.

The sro3000 is a great skimmer. It pulls out some nasty skim mate but if very sensitive. Sometimes it will just start over flowing for no reason. The dc pump Looks cool but the feature of lower it with the controller wouldn't work for me unless I want to go downstairs every time I feed to adjust it.

Couldn't you extend the wires and place the controller for the skimmer by the tank? :help:

Yeah if I can do that it would be worth it. That controller would never be touched only during a water change

For the other wire it looks to be microphone connectors/wire. I don't know if anyone else would know for sure..
