tank specs is important. diffierent tank size use different equipment mah.

good tank specs provide good enviroment for the colorful corals to grow.

like car. you buy big car but the interior not good. engine 10years no servicing.

how the car gonna groove smoothly?

spoken like a pro...

power of this skimmer, just wash and only abt 1hr of operation ... we need to wash the collection cup and waste collector about every 6 days ... very thick and smelly kopi-o  :sick:

High maintenance skimmer, firstly looking for a suitable pump is a challenge, then the next issue is to learn how to set the air/water ratio, then you'll need to use the gatevalve to control the water level high to acheive wet or dry skimming.

The controlling takes time as the leveling is quite slow if you are talking about incresing the water level considering gravity pull, but lowering can be fast due to gravity too.

external have 1 less issue of internal as internal is also affected by the sump water level height

Another issue to take note is the water outlet after the gate valve

Water return outlet must not have any blockage, if blocked will have the same effect as closing the gatevalve causing the water level in the skimmer body to increase thus leading to wet skimmage or even over flow. or what they usually consider "unstable water level" causing over flowing like crazy.

many waste collector is too small so if this monster skimmer skims very well after good tuning. Kopi-o will fill the waste collector even only 4 days with heavy bio load.

Anything more too add? :ph34r:
