Oceanic "Plus Series" Model 6 Protein Skimmer - manual available!

[mcarroll]

Just an FYI that I have a copy of the manual for my old Oceanic "Plus Series" Model 6 (or just Oceanic Model 6) that I mentioned back in this post.

Just happened to run across the manual in my files, so I figured I'd mention it here in case anyone else went looking for it like I did. (Took me quite a while to find this copy in the first place - Oceanic had no memory of this skimmer when I inquired with them. )

PM or email me if anyone has interest in getting a copy of this.

A few basics that may be all you need in lieu of a copy of the manual:

• The inlet to the skimmer's venturi port is an odd size - 3/8".
• 3/8" is to comply with their choice of pumps - the Eheim 1250. Still the (only) recommended pump.
• Keep the water level around the same height as the drain for best performance.
• I have never found an air-valve to be required on the inlet to the venturi. Possibly because modern 1250's aren't quite as powerful as they were back in 1993...read this somewhere.

My name is Greg I recently purchased a older 225 gal oceanic tank and it came with this venturi oceanic model 6 skimmer. I have never seen on like this. If you do have a copy of the manual could I possibly get a copy of it from you. I think I would like to try getting this unit functioning as a second skimmer. Thanks for any assistance. Greg

Dug an old one of these out of storage. Do you still have that manual? Could you email me a copy?
Thank you
