Skimmer show off thread. Lets see them

[joekool]

Wanted to see what everyone else is running in comparison to the net water in their systems. Leave some info about your system and let's see what everyone is working with.

I'll start.
I have 687 gallons of water in my system and I'm rocking a RK2 Systems RK5AC. Had an ASM G6X
And replaced it with this new one.
Picture below is the two next to each other.
Asm was loud and left a bunch of microbubbles in the water. New one is a beast but quite and no more bubbles in the water.

Enjoy this video of it in action.

So what do you have? Curious to see if anyone has one similar to mine.

Really nobody wants to show off there skimmer.

Come on you know you want to.

Not my pic. Saw it here on a tattoo thread. This is what I call dedication to nutrient export.

Here is my Life Reef 36” skimmer power by a Neptune pump. Looks like it can use a good cleaning

Great style. That's a great type to run no worries about needle wheels and replacement.

Nice; I will show this to my wife as she has her left arm sleeved. She will think the guy is nuts. She hates nog.
The guy should color it in with a half full cup of nog and foam. That would show dedication above and behond the call.

Looks like a nice one. Making some funk too. Get you an apex and hook up to that float switch on that skimmer. Hehe. I'm a control freak so I always say stuff like that lol. Thanks for the post.

I went to MACNA possibly looking for a new skimmer which was much quieter but powerful. But yes some how it just ended up in the car. Told the wife she needed to drive over because I had to load something in the vehicle...hehehehe.
