It' is solely a skimmer

Thks zapper.A very valueable info

Dun worry,it's dieing off soon

Get at least 1 Hp. Can check with Dr chill for our home made reef relief chiiler. So far very gd comments

Cos yr ship was not register with any nations!!...

If budget is yr contraint, then i would suggest that u read up more first, save up some $$$ and get the best u can get to prevent the hassle of further upgrading. This is one common reefers made,like me.... wat lighting to get deoend on wat kind of corals u want to keep...

Very subjective, the last compartment is for holding area for evaporated water(water level fall during evaporation) but for me, I'm not worried by the pump's size , skimmer's size etc. if u're housing yr skimmer inside the sump, take the measurement first b4 making the sump

For me, it's becos of my cabinet size constraint and that's why all my equipment are housing outside the cabinet

Not so soon...completing the setup by this week and follow by two mths of cycling period. Re u using H&S skimmer too?

errr....I think Cookiemonster is using that. maybe u can check with him.

U 're right! The water flow rate coming in do not play a critical role in this model. Correct me if I'm wrong..fellow H&S users

This is How H&S Skimmer works

H&S skimmer operates differently, conventional skimmer draws the water in thru the pump as such,water pass thru and out of the channel cylinder in a faster manner. AS for H&S, the pump is attached to the cylinder to prolong water catchment inside the cylinder for better skimmer.

Could u elborate on this point?

Hi SharkBait, U're right! All my equipment are running separately on its own. AS to Pospeh's query, this is not my first tank,

As pointed, T-jointed directly flow to the skimmer

No , there is a T-jointed solely for down flow water directly into the skimmer. As for the Chiller, there will be a another return pump drawing water in straight into the main tank. The skimmer u see is a H&S Skimmer. here, adapting pumpless concept inside my sump to miniature heat exchange
