Aquarium Advice Addict
I got my new skimmer in yesterday and after a quick trip to Homedepot, for 11 bucks worth of supplies, I have it plumbed into my system. This thing totally ROCKS!!! I got the Aqua-c EV-180 for my 55gal reef to replace my CPR Backpack II (which wasnt doing squat). What a quality piece of equipment. It was relitively easy to hook up and get running. Considering how limited I am on space. It has about 2" of clearance from the top to remove the collection cup, which is plenty for this model. You know skimmers need at least a week to break in and start skimming properly, well this one is already creating a nice thick foam and I will have to clean the collection cup when I get home tonight. The only thing is there is a little bit of a splash from the return. I have a few ideas of how to address this, but if you can think of anything, let me know.
