+1 on taking care of yourself.

Really need to thank everyone, for their PMs, RBs, and phone calls, with their kind words and offers to help...I really appreciate it...Its what really sets this community FAR above any other. The worst part of the hospital stay was NO access to MR !

I heard they have WiFi, or you can use one of those smart phones.

have to check on WiFi before my next visit...I worried that smart phones may be, too smart for me!

Thanks Guys...it's nice to know, that so many people are willing to help out! At least I now have a 'GOOD' excuse for the slow progress!

Thats True! I'm trying to make the best of this time, and carefully reviewing all my plans...yesterday, I re-designed the Light frames to change the placement of T5s and LEDs, which will now, work out much better, and make access to the tank, for feeding and cleaning, much easier. So, maybe it's all for the better!

With thanks to Rick (NYreefNoob) I finally found my 'new' skimmer ... Euro Reef RC500...almost 3' tall with 3 Eheim 1262 pumps, slightly bigger than my present SWC octopus recirc. skimmer. Hope to install/test it this weekend...will have more pics!

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

Wow thats a nice skimmer, did you get a good deal on it b/c hard to find in general

 

[tomtoothdoc]

that's a serious skimmer. stupid question....is the sump wide enough for that thing?

 

[InfernoST]

That's some coffee pot you got there.

 

[Wolverine57]

Looking great....I can see some serious water changes! Your by the ocean...right!

 

[NYreefNoob]

it's a recirc skimmer that doesnt need to go in sump, but it will easily fit in his sump lol his sump holds more water then most peoples systems thinking it is 8'x3'x15"

 

[tomtoothdoc]

yeah..... that sump is bigger than my main tank @ 4'x3'x27"....lol.

I'm told that new, this skimmer was almost $3000, so I think that I got a GREAT deal!

As Rick mentioned, my sump can easily handle it, my present recirc. SWC Octopus is a little smaller, with a 10" wide body, and 2 pumps, versus the new 12" wide, with 3 larger pumps

That's some coffee pot you got there.

By doctor's orders...decaf. ONLY!

Those salt buckets go pretty fast...good thing sump has direct connection to house drain, so no water to haul!

 

[motortrendz]

wow amaizing!!! cant wait to see it running!

 

[albano]

SO... it looks like the skimmer holds about 10g of water, itself! Tomorrow, I will switch it with my SWC octopus!
:scratchch If anyone needs, 'extra' skimmate, please contact me!

[albano]
