Vertex Omega 150

Any bro or sis using this skimmer?

Just bought this skimmer and after fixing it up notice some thing.

The pump and the skimmer body after connected it does not level. There was a gap under the pump where I need to put some sponge under it.

Is it suppose to be like this? If the design like this for us to put the sponge then why need the white bracket for the pump and the black rubber under the bracket.

It will be good to check back with the shop you purchased the equipment. I believe you will get faster response.

Hi, The pump should sit nicely on the glass, it should not be hanging as shown in your pictures. Please bring the skimmer to Iwarna if you are unable to resolve the problem. Cheers, Aquarium Iwarna

Hi Bro

I'm a current user myself , puzzled with yr current predicament cos this is supposed to be plug and play, pretty easy to install and assembled. Could u post the complete pic of yr whole skimmer set up and maybe i can offer some assistance and lead u out of the woods. Alternatively u can / sms me at 92288018. Thks !

[giantbicycle]

its a common problem as reviewed in RC. can do a search there

[karlyau]

Been searching online for some video and picture. The pump should be sit flat but for my case, the pump have a gap or 0.5-1cm gap to reach the bottom.

I guess the hole on the skimmer body was drill too high.

I don't think they design tis way for us to put the sponge under the pump.

[jand118]

Nope ! Mine work perfectly ! U can whatsapp me to see how I can help

That what I been wondering. The slimmer body an the pump should sit nicely in the sump in the same level.

After I fix the pump and put it in the sump I notice the whole skimmer slanted towards the pump then I notice the pump was hanging.

Not sure I fix it wrongly or what.

However when enter the red tube into the other hole then it will be like this

[ReDDeviLs]

haha just hope it was not the manufacture issue but i guess I'm the unlucky one ...

Already wrote to Vertex and waiting for their reply. Will get in touch with Philip from Irwana too and hope they can do something about it.

[jand118]

Bro seems frm the pic it look like the entry hole on the skimmer body for the pump to skimmer interface tube may be slightly out (higher) - evident frm yr 2nd & 3rd pic with the skimmer base skewed to one side. Guessed it wld be best to bring the unit back to Iwarna - Philip to hv the skimmer replaced as its still under warranty.

[karlyau]

Will bring the skimmer to irwana next week and see what they can do for me

Look like I'm not the only one

Btw bro you now at Sg or Aus?

[duckky23]

I recently purchased one and also have the same problem with yours

[jand118]

Gd sharing n feedback ! I reckoned that since it's one of the known Mfg issue, guessed it will be good for all potential buyers to do a dry fit check on the spot prior to bringing our new toy home, saved the hassle of bringing it back for exchange thereafter.
