Looks nice. Better get a hose hooked up to that drain pretty soon. heh

Yeah I was thinking the same thing...

I was thinking of buying a skimmate collecotr. not sure if i am going to though...

anyone own one?

I was goint to use a 1/2gal milk jug

Milk jug should work fine. I didn't spring for a waste collector for my PM Hot1, (hang on), I just run a hose down to a plastic bucket with a hole drilled through the top. I usually empty the cup before it starts draining, but glad I had it when I was gone on vacation! 8) I am considering the EV180 for an upgrade, so let me know how you like it.

I use a gallon milk jug for my PM-HOT1. I usually empty the cup before I need the jug but it's there just in case.

I use an old 2 gallon water bottle to collect the overflow from my EV 180. I'd hook up a tube to the drain pipe now. The air flowing throught the skimmer carries moisture with it that could condense back into your sump if it's not carried into a separate container. Even that bit of moist air has impurities in it. The water it leaves turns green in the bottle, even before the collection cup starts to overflow!.

These skimmers are great. Easy to clean and they remove some really nasty looking, dark green scum. Enjoy!

I run a waste collector on my EV-180, mainly for the stink control. It's also a decent failsafe when you leave town or just aren't around the tank. Too bad they're so expensive!

I just put a 1gallon arrowhead bottle to work....

When I feed the skimmer goes flat for a while then it really starts up....

I was running Chemi-pure in the tank while teh new skimmer was enroute... I am gonna take it out and see what i get....

that's working very well. Hope it don't suck out the good stuff too.
