the footprint is about 11 1/2" x 11 1/2"

right now we are running it at 7" of water and i have it set to skim dry , im not sure how it does yet in 8-10" of water but judging by its performance in 7" i can almost bet it would perform equally as well

Give me a call when you can, as this one isn't... Even with a new impeller, it isn't able to produce the skimmate like a skimmer should. (403) 919-3442

I am at my whits end here... Been 3-4 months now, so we can't say it is a break in period.

Any advice would be grateful from anyone... Ready to pull this out and put my hydor back in.

Denny sorry for the hijack also.

Only problem with these skimmers is that ultimately you will end up with smeared crap on the Canadian maple leaf Not a good day for Canada
