Thanks Andy... I was having trouble with loading the picture.

The skimmer is 48" high and is being powered by an Iwaki 100MX (2000 gph)

Hey Jim,

What size are the two air valves on the becketts, 1/4" or 3/8"?

Jim, Have you got an update on your new skimmer, hows it running, I have heard from other websites that it runs very noisy, with limited skimming after you have put your hands in the tank or other oily type things. I really like the idea of the skimmer but skeptical until a few reviews come through. Any comments would sure be appreciated.
