the only thing that needs to be replaced is the air line. the guy i bought it from replaced it with the air line hose that is on it. it is kinda loud. replace the air line with a softer hose and it will not be loud :crutch:

What is its footprint and height?

Please let me know what you think of it I have been thinking about getting that one but just not sure

 

[xxkenny90xx]

No problem, if this skimmer lives up to the hype I'll be wondering why everyone doesn't have one. I'll post an update in about a week

for the money, that skimmer is great!
it has the atmann pumps on it, same as models from ESHOPPS, Bubble magus, and SWC skimmers.
one of the better cheap skimmer pumps out of china,
so to get the entire skimmer for $150 is a no brainer for those looking for a cheap skimmer.

Have you used this skimmer? It didn't really come with instructions, I'm not sure how deep it needs to be

I just checked on it, it's been in the sump for less than a day, good thing it has a hose so I can send the skimate to a 2 liter bottle
