WTB: ETSS 1800 or Equivalent Skimmer

[Domboski]

I thought I would give this a try. I want to buy a used ETSS 1800 or another model (1700, etc) that is no more than 35" in height.

Thanks,

Dom

ETSS skimmers

Dom,
Don't you think its a overkill for 100gal?

I'm running a etss2000 on my system, round 700gal sheer volume of H2O.

I was thinking of getting the short 1800 myself, but If you really want the job done right, there is no other way of cutting with ETSS; big ass downdraft tubes, with big loud pump!
The problem with 1800 being compact and all, it releases too many microbubbles to the sump, so U also need huge sump to combat microbubbles from being released back into your tank!

I have an ETSS 750 on a 250 gallon system. I would use the 1800 or similar skimmer on the larger system and move the 750 to the 100 gallon.

I am not worried about micro bubbles because they can always be dealt with.

BTW, nice skimmer!

I'm still thinking about it Mike. My first wish is to get something that will fit under my stand (29.5"). Outside of stand will be plan B
