    Goal: Design, build and document a skimmer that will fit in the stand of a 75/90 gallon tank, and handle a 100 gallon tank using PVC Pipe parts that are readily available at any hardware store/home improvement center. The pump I am using, for now, is the pump that came on a Coralife 220...

    What is the best skimmer for a 75G? Of course price does matter but what would be really good with a GREAT track record that does not need to be modded after getting it.

    The skimmer that I have is a Pro Clear Aquatic Systems skimmer that I believe is rated for a 75G tank. It has a Rio 600 pump on it. I can post a picture but that is all I can tell you about it. It came with my 90 gallon tank. After reading some of the threads on TRT, the "rule of thumb" is...

    Ah the first of many threads for the new tank. So here is the story. I have a 55 that is a work of learning, I started having no idea what I was doing, and now I know enough to be dangerous but not enought to be smart ;) So I wanna plan out this 95 so that I have the best chance of...

    I'm thinking of modding my ASM g2 with the recirc mod. I have two ideas to feed the skimmer. 1. directly drain the display into the body. If I do this, should I put a ball-valve on my return pump ( a Mag 5 ) to control the amount of water dumping into the skimmer? I don't fully understand the...

    I'm starting a new 135-gallon reef tank, and I'm trying to decide between an ASM or an Aqua C skimmer. If you've had experience with either (or both!), will you let me know please?

    I'm working to bring by 75G back online, and trying to implement a few changes. I have a protein skimmer (unknown brand) which is a venturi style. It has a inlet about 3/4 way up, aims down into the chamber through a venturi (air sucked from exterior). It has an outlet which is plumbed to...

    Here's a few pics of my new tank and fish room. 220 Display tank w/ 55 gal sump. I've never realized how small a 55 gal tank can really look. Here's the beginnings of the wall that the fish tank is built into. And here's the tank on the stand. I sure am glad that I have a 6" ledge...

    Hi all my pump died on my skimmer and was wondering if you all could recommend one. It a ASM G1X and the pump was a Sedra KSP 3500. I tried to clean it but it still wouldn't start back up. Thanks in advance for any insight. Jan

    I plan to do the recirc mod on my Euroreef CS6-1 skimmer this week and was wondering about feed pump portion of the mod shown in this link http://www.asmskimmer.com/mod3.htm Why would you drill a larger hole than the tap size? It says to drill 23/32" hole and use a 1/2" tap.
