Help. Anyone remember the euro reef skimmers?

[ReefOG311]

I have an old CS8-4 that I would like to use again. I quite remember how it was hooked up to my sump. Does anyone have any pics or manuals for these skimmers?
Looking for some old timers like me. Lol

So your tank is an 8" body that is 30" tall. is that correct? How many pumps do you have? Can you post a picture of the skimmer?

They used Sedra pumps, but I dont recall the exact pump you would need.

ASM was a spin off of Euro-Reef. IIRC, two brothers owned ER and got into a family fight. One left started ASM, and Jeff(?) continued with ER. ER folded shortly after.

I had a CS6-2 for awhile. It worked well for what it was.

I’m still running an INS 135. You can find Jeff on facebook I believe. He can help you and provide pumps and some parts if you need them. Hold on to your wallet as the replacement pumps and impellers are expensive. I’m using a sicce psk 600 on mine and it’s working well. Look up euroreef and reefdynamics. Let us know what you find.

Loved those skimmers!

Plugged in the sicce pumps and they still work. Holy bubbles. Running some vinegar thru to clean them out after 10 years. I now think the bottom uniseal hole is for a drain and top one is for flow pump.
I've attached another pic, not sure if I usedformy skimmer or something else. Can anyone tell? Some type of air scrubber or venturi?

Sorry I meant sedra pumps

I think i figured it out. I may have had a MRC skimmer at one point and save them.

Thanks

That looks like a venturi for the MRC you used to have.

Also, I would strongly suggest not using vinegar anymore to clean your pumps. Start using Citric acid instead. Just as inexpensive and wont damage the pump. Big thread here about it and why:


Beware of vinegar- The pump killer

I have an OG CS8-3 with dual pump inlets. It's a beast, but the old sicce 2500's are pretty much smoked. I am ordering new pumps for it today (Sicce 1000). I have no reason to throw this thing away.
