Aquamedic Blue T1000 skimmer review

[mseepman]

Continuing with my look at this skimmer...here are some shots from it while it's getting a Vinegar/water bath.

As you can see, the bubbles are really pretty fine. I'm impressed since these are 1/4 the size of the bubbles from my big Tunze.



After 3 hours in Vinegar/water mix....here's a shot of the skimmer neck.



And a shot down from above:


I've been working with it despite the ruined cup. A replacement cup is on it's way but I wanted to get to play with this in the mean-time.

As for noise...it's not bad if you submerge the output pipe. There is a defined noise from the air input, but I'm hoping to get a silencer that Aquamedic sells to solve that problem. This will be in my living room so a lot of noise won't go down well with my better half.
