Gere is the pic of it in my sump. This is a great skimmer so far. Been about a week now and I havet touched it since the first night. Working really well.

save your money and get what you want. I have wasted alot of money trying to just get by. I dont go for an off name or just something so so. I want to get the best performance possible. You saved $50 on lights. You lost $500 in coral. because it failed or wasnt up to par. Good luck. T 5's would...

I will post some more pics here later tonight or by morningfor sure of whole sump. It is wworking better than expected. I have about an inch or so of skimmate in my waste collector. It hold just under a gallon. I did make a muffler for the inlet. It does suck in alot of air. 1/2 in poly line...

MY octo was great. I did upgrade to the new ETSS Sump buddy 40. It is working really well. as far as them switching pumps I am not sure. But the octopus slimmer are a good bang for the buck skimmer for sure. I would vote octopus if those were my two choses. Otherwise I am happy wiht my new...

The loop in the drain has allowed me to make changes. I once I am happy with it I will hard plumb the drain in. But for now I keep using that dang ol flex hose. Maybe another month. I will takes some full sump shots this weekend and post them. Thanks.

any pics of your setup

I am using the CA 2200. It was what the said I needed so I bought it along with the skimmer. They threw in the hose and clamps I needed as well to hook up the pump. They said I needed any pump that was between 700 and 900 gph. I am a fan of hte quiet one pumps but thought I would be better off...

The only thing I thought was wierd was thet the guy from ae tech said they are getting there best performance from two large bioballs in the chamber. rather than the smaller ones. Why they send the small ones? hmmm I guess time will tell. Still some microbubbles too. I fugure they should be...

I took these this morning. SO about two fulll days of use.I have been running it a little low as not to overflow my waste container. So far so good. not too bad imo. It pulling out alot it seems. I have about a half in of jusnk in my waste container too. THe collection cup will never get...

At first it had some. It is only day two and they are almost non existant. Adjusting the skimmer is upper easy. Just slide the output gate up or down. Very easy It moves a ton of water through it though. uses pumps rated at 700 to 900 gph. lol the guy from AE TECH (ETSS) calls it the hot rod of...

This is a new skimmer by AE Tech. ETSS has been around for a while. They dont even have an instruction manual. Its funny though. I get home and I run upstairs to look at my skimmer. lol Its like x mas. Last night the tower was already brown. But I had to change out my filter sock and as soon as...

i ll take a couple tonight and post them after two days of running.

ok here is hte simple math for electricity. Two formula's P=IV nad V=IR Power=amps x voltage Voltage= Amps x resitance Power = watts So if you you have 1328 watts and 120 v plug you just plug it into the equation. 1328w=I x 120v 1328/120= I I=11.07 amps This is a simple way of determining your...

The guy there said I could adjust the amount of air that went into the skimmer by adding more o less balls. He said the more balls the less air that would be going into the skimmer. I am at 3 balls in hte chamber. He also said he might change them to large balls. 2 large bioballs .It was working...

Ok Just talked to the guy from AE tech(ETSS) and he said this. *Only use 2 to 4 bioballs. The more balls the less air flow. *The water level needs to be wherever I need it to be to get the best skimmate. But should not be on the tower. Somewhere between the tower and 1 to 1.5 inches below is...

I plan on calling them today and see what is there recommended amount. The only info I have because it is new is what there add says. There website says two two four balls for this one and when looking at the manual for the reef devil it does use alot more.I am not sure because I have not seen a...

Here are the updated pictures My camera catches the water shooting in. But in person you cannot see that. Its more like a jet of water shooting in. Enjoy!!

ok looked on there website and after reading it say the new downdraft only uses two to four balls. I put hte whole bag in about 12. And OMG What a difference. This thing is making some serious foam. I have lowered the water level to about 1/2 in below the column. I will take some more pics. Now...

it suppse to be a "new Design" But this I am not usre of because I don know how the reef devils work. So you think the level should be lower for now?
