Man, I love this skimmer! Bubble Heaven! And I don't even know what I'm doing with it yet. I'm adjusting the gate valve from the pump to the skimmer and the gate valve from the skimmer to the sump and the needle valves and everything I do the bubbles just come faster and harder. So, finally I just open the gate valve from the pump wide open and adjust the needle valves and I get some real nice froth. These pics were taken immediately after turning on the pump, with the gate valve from the pump almost closed. I'll get some pics up tomorrow with the valve wide open.

Looking good Lance, hows the noise on the return pump? I'm going to have to stop by and check things out.

I am happy with what I got, nice coloring and great polyp extension, hopefully they grow quick as I have some catching up to do (dropped by Maries and saw her tank-STUNNING!) How did you make out with your new additions?

Mine are nice also, very happy with them. This is the second order I've got from Greg, and they just keep getting better. Yes, Marie's tank is VERY nice!
I taught her well.

For a large pump, it's not too bad. The Iwaki running the skimmer is actually noisier. They're both in a closet so they don't bother anyone.
