My MSX200 skimmer came in today.
Now I don't have a clue how to put it together. I have the directions. Do you have to use any of the purple plumbing stuff on it? My Remora C was easy. This is not. It came with a clear tube and a milky looking tube. I see where a tube needs to be connected to the silencer, but neither one of the tubes fit there very well. I put the plug in the collection cup. There is this 1" circle that has three rows of plastic pegs on it. I can't find them anywhere on the paper. There's an 8" X about 2" piece of plastic netting. I don't see that anywhere either. The needle wheel pump looks like it's missing something.I can see where the fitting goes for that. The bottom of it has a thread with nothing attached, and there is this small hard plastic tube. What goes there? Is there some place for a prefilter? The plastic pipes, I think I have them like the picture. do they fit really snug?
Now I feel like a dumb woman. How am I ever going to hook all this stuff up?
I know the skimmer ( when it's together) goes into the sump. I have a Mag 18 pump that I bought after I got the sump. I know I'll need plumbing. My husband wants nothing to do with this. He said he'ld help me level my stand on Saturday, but that he doesn't know about the rest of it. I'm charging my camera now, but I can't post any pics until Saturday.
