OK, solve this equipment mystery... "What IS it?"

[seasmurf]

I'm


wondering... there is an item I have as part of a tank kit I bought, it looks... like a protien skimmer? Or part of one? What say you?

If the images are not showing up... I'll figure out something.... I'm still squeaky clean and new.

Looks like the pump and some of the plumbing for a calcium reactor. What they said.

You may be able to find what it goes with from this site. They use that pump.

Fast response! I couldnt refill my coffee that fast- and I'm a coffee-holic.
I havent picked up the tank kit as of yet. The seller took some pictures for me... and that's what you see. It looks as though I may have to order some parts? (crossed eyeballs) What brand I dont knowwwww...

But thanks for being on the ball guys!

If you haven't already bought that reactor, then don't. A new calcium reactor isn't that expensive and you won't need it on a new tank for many months. Why bother with ordering specialized parts from foreign manufacturers - it might be harder than you anticipate to get that thing working.

I hear that, abch0s. Go big or go home. When it comes to life supporting equipment, its a good idea to go with something you know than with something that somebody else had for who knows how long. (Unless of course they're your best friend).

caio.

resistance is futile grasshopper

This pump could also be used on a Aqua Medic T1000 skimmer

yup, but I don't see the reason for a bubble counter on a skimmer.

at any rate if the rest of it isn't there it is pretty much useless unless you just want to use the pump for something.
