due to a slight case of insomnia and mere determination the skimmer is in the sump. not easily mind you. i will say that the fact that the skimmer comes apart into so many pieces was slighlty helpful but i do forsee doing most my maintenance to the skimmer in sump rather than taking it out and apart... maybe once a year task a full cleaning..if i drink enough first



here is a video of the start up. the pump isnt too quiet .. i rate it a touch quieter than my 1n-180 with a rusted blistered impeller. i was hoping it would be a bit more silent than it is. it is what it is



click picture for video







now i know i should have done a vineger bath before runing this thing, and im sorry mike i wa sgoing t just didnt have time to go pickup a rubbermaid container but i was so thrilled to actually get it in the sump after 20 min of manipulation that i decided tod eal with it. cause shortly afteri stoppedthe vid it decded to puke fom and i couldnt get it to stop until i restrictd thinletto the pump.. will see what happensinthenxtcouplef day

Jeff question for ya ok with regards to the sump how big is it? Are u able to take thebsump out and make a drawer that u can pull out? This would allow u to get at the skimmer easier and faster along with monthly cleaning

regretfully no i cannot make a drawer for the sump great idea tho. the skimmer is in there and can be removed its just not a quick process. my main concern is tryng to get it to calm down and settle in. i think its going crazy due to my oldskimmer reall wasnt working well and my tank is essentially full of crap atm. big water change tonight already started mixing water last night.
