![]() My Hydor 700 skimmer likes to be difficult at times, I was trying to get the skimmer head off to clean it and some how managed to throw the puppy half way across the room
![]() That tang is going to LOVE the 280g Tony, what a nice little upgrade for the feller. |

![]() I run a hydor also, do what I do, take out the inner ring on the skimmer (where the neck of the skimmer cup goes)... I have run it this way since the beginning and it works great. Then you don't have to fight with putting it on or throwing it around.
Oh Yeah, Yuck!!! What a mess.

![]() Some pictures out of boredom. Seeing these really drives home to me I should consider Lasik or something.

I have no idea the significance of the blue. Her way of asking for food maybe??? ![]() Here you can see the significant bleaching to my purple carpet. ![]() ![]()

![]() Ok! Back on track. Maybe! Hopefully! Geez, I really hope so anyhow.
Sump is slid back in place, and replumbed. Sump return: ![]() What I did was take the chop saw to the original bulkhead and then chipped off the bulkhead off the elbow piece so I wouldn't have to buy new 2" ball valve pieces. I had enough of the bulkhead left to re-use it, so I did. ![]() ![]() And the skimmer is hooked up and plumbed: ![]() Pardon the mess of wires .. I've not been worrying about the wiring until I was reasonably happy with the placement of "stuff" (skimmer, pumps, etc.) Cleaning up the wiring will be a job in itself, but for a later day.

![]() Looking good Tony. I think we already discussed this earlier: The skimmer emptying into a filter sock is a great idea, but you're going to get ****y having to change the sock every day or two. In hind sight I would have set mine up with a way bigger sock than the 4" one. I"m lucky to get two days before changing.
