I will receive mine tomorrow. I'm just a little upset that it might not fit in my skimmer compartment but its ok I'll figure something out.

A few people on other forums will be doing a comparison test against the XP2000SSS and Bubble King 160. Lets see what happens

I just received this monster. Way bigger than I expected. Thus thing is built like a tank

i just got mine also.It fit just finr in my 10x15 skimmer space. I had to turn it a little on an angle so that the pump inlet was not againt the wall.

Hecdr34 did rubber feet for the white bracket come with your? i think mine was not included

 

[Hecdr34]

Yes. only 2 because it lays on the side.

Nice foam head. What water depth do you have the skimmer sitting in?

I just tried to set up the skimmer and guess what? The damn thing is broken.. The Volute is broken at the air input. So now I sit here with a partially setup tank and a sand storm... Pissed!!

 

[Tonyscoots84]

That sucks kasei. The skimmer is looking nice tho...

 

[Hecdr34]

I'm really sorry to hear that. That was my biggest fear when I saw the packaging. I hope they take care if it fast and send you a new one fast.

 

[ecvernon]

First 24 hours. So far so good. Only think its a little loud right now compared to my previous skimmer. Since its brand new it may be making noise. Hope it quiets down after it fully breaks in

Did you use the volute to tune or just the wedge pipe? Where do you have the foam break water line at, the beginning of the neck or somewhere else? How long did it take to break in?

Looking good

Hi, I've only been using the wedge pipe until it fully breaks in. I have it breaking very low about 1" below the neck or so. It has not fully broken in yet though.
