AquaC Urchin/Urchin Pro

[Mellow]

Hi people,

Is anyone using the above skimmers? I'm thinking of getting one but the only constraint is that the available height in my cabinet is 24 inches. I've read the specs of the Urchin and Urchin Pro and their heights are 17.5 and 21 inches respectively. So the question is will my cabinet height be sufficient, taking into consideration the removal of the collection cup?? Thanks alot for your help in advnace...

a bit tight. You have to add another 2 inches for the "neck" of the cup while removing + allowance...emmm... not enough

Not possible to hang them onto your main tank? Thought they were meant to be hang-ons....if sump can't then on the main tank?

Hi boxfish,

Thanks for your help. But when u meant it's gonna be tight, do u refer to the use of the Urchin or Urchin Pro??? Coz the Urchin is only 17.5 inches while the Pro is 21 inches. I was thinking if I wanna remove the collection cup, another idea would be to tilt the skimmer abit to allow easier removal. Any comments?

Hi fuel,

Thanks for your suggestion too. I dun really hang onto my display because fisrtly, I dun really like to have equipments hanging out. Find it unsightly lah. heh. And besides, I'm only using 6mm glass for my 3 feet tank. Dun wanna add further strain on the glass It's right next to my bed. If it burst, I'm in big trouble! heh....
