Default My new Warner Marine skimmer!

I've never been a big believer in skimming the snot out of one's system so I've always stuck to skimmers which probably slightly undersized for my system such as a ER CS6-2 or my old Tunze venturi skimmer. But I've always wanted to see what a monster skimmer would or could do and I've always wanted to try a recirc skimmer. Well, now I have both in the form at a Warner Marine RX200!

It's a big sucka (please excuse the dirty laundry). Gonna have to do some reconstuctive sump surgery to shoehorn this guy in.



Sexy removable bubble plate. Note the machined concave holes.


Close up on the sch80 fittings.


Needlewheel in the sedra 9000HO. The exit has been bored out.


Tiny bubbles during initial cleaning with water and vinegar


Even with just vinegar and water the skimmer produces a very stable foam head


Going to put it to work in the next few days as soon as I get some spaflex from McKenzie (thanks, dude)

That's one sexy beast. Looks like some quality construction.
