    I'm going to try a gate-valve mod on mine this weekend and I'm wondering if anyone has modded this model yet. I have a TS150 and noticed that the PVC coming out of the bottom is somewhere in between 1-1/4" and 1-1/2".

    This thread lists the equipment I have so far: http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111400 When I got the tank, I decided to go ahead and test everything I had to make sure it worked properly. The only part of it that I couldn't truly test was the skimmer. But, with plain water it...

    I really am not satisfied w/ my ASM G2. It is really crammed into my sump and hard to adjust, sometimes it pulls great, sometimes too much, sometimes too little. Plus I'm not sure its enough for a 118g. I know about the mesh mod and gate valve mod. The mesh mod would help w/ it pulling, but...

    Anybody have one laying around? I'm looking for a 1.25" one, needs to be gate (not ball). I've found a local supplier that charges about 2x as much as online vendors, before I order from the online place, I thought I'd check here. thanks, matt

    After reading all the recent posts on gate valve mods for Euro-reef skimmers, I'm going to mod mine. Anyone know of a local hardware store that carrys PVC gate valves, I'm looking for the 1 1/4" gate valve. Many Thanks, Beng

    Up for trade... Carleson Surge Device, I built it and ran for a couple months on my 125. Works great! No pump included. Has 5 gal bucket w/lid, 1/2 PVC Gate valve to control flow, safety overflow, and a 1.5" discharge... I'll trade it for just about any frag that I don't already have...:p
