i must say..this skimmer is sick..."can yaaaaaaaa skimmer do this??!?!?"

its taller then me, i cant not stare at it every time i walk by it.... although that was the case when it was in big als too. this thing is deffinately a big als icon for me, i have been lookin at it everytime i went into big als since i started keeping saltwater.

why does it look like you to just ripped off a trailer park convience store :mrgreen:

What kind is it?

How many, and what pumps run it?

It looks like a turbo floater with a pair of Ocean Runner pumps.

Yep, checked the pic again, the label on top says turbofloater.

Is it the Turbofloter 5000 with twin 3500s then?

I thought my G6 was tall. :)

Thats sick! Nice photchop too! LOL

ya,that was about 2 seconds of photoshop...never was good @ it, hahaha and what can i say, that picture was taken after working a 14 hour day :(

dual turbo floater 5000 with 2 aquamedic ocean runner 3500 pumps at 900 gal per hour each just to circulate the skimmer and u need a 1000+ gal/hr pump to feed the skimmer.

What plans do you have for it?

It's great your buddy got the skimmer, I would pass out if I see a skimmer like that in my living room.
How big a tank you need to run it full potenial?
One thing I don't understand, you said, "...saw this guy walking out with that giant skimmer...". Didn't you recongize your buddy or his car?

:lol:

I thought the same thing, but didn't want to say it.

So now that WRXchick has opened the can of worms............ Please enlighten us prosnow. :lol:

guess he bought it off the guy. lol, sorry should have cleared that up earlyer on! haha

i dont know if u can call what i have for that skimmer plans or dreams, but either way im part way there. id like to have a 600-1000 gal tank plywood with fish room behind but the way i want to do it is the reason i want to hold off. i basically want to make the fishroom and tank area almost a secondary building inside my house so that its completely closed and possably pressurized to keep the humid air in the room/expelled outdoors.
