RK2 does make a smaller skimmer called the X-Flow I belive but I found for the smaller skimmers that the ETSS work good and the X-flow is more complicated than it needs to be. For large fishrooms and aquaculture there is nothing better than the big RK2 skimmers. I belive that the one that someone posted a picture of is a RK450 and runs 450gpm and the acrylic model shown is about $30,000.00 canadian

I recently saw an aerofoamer in action and was very impressed. Pricey but obviously does a great job. I've been using counter current skimmers for years, using wood diffusers and they work but cannot be compared to the aerofoamer. I'll be changing soon .

RK2 is where it's at. I've seen that in action...sweet. They make an even larger one. I can't wait for years end to add an RK-100 to our systems. I'm saving my pennies.

Hey Stephane ... really like that auto-topoff float ... looks reliable ... what triggers the pump to top off the water ? ... got any more pics or a good explanation of what you did ? ... TIA

Cheers
