Have a Euroreef Skimmer?
Every wanted to see if you could get better performance from your Euroreef skimmer?
Well this may be just want you are looking for.
In this video Dave Perry (JustDavidP) and Gustavo Pagnozzi (Neo) take us through step by step in the modification of pump that drives the skimmer to to get it to produce a better skimmate
I am still downloading but this sounds great! I am now in the market for a skimmer and i was looking at the euroreef ones. Perfect timing

That is right sir P., the only thing is that to make a 10 min modification to David's skimmer pump took us about 3 Hrs? and a case of Beer? ok maybe 2 cases.

Aren't videos fun I like the little one in the background giving suggestions on bubble size. lol
Would this mod work on any of the Euroreef models? Just wondering because i am looking at the RS models for my new tank.
Great video you two! I am looking forward to the sump one

From what I understand this mod will work on any needle wheel pump. I am not sure if they were ever able to get it to work on the Coralife Super Skimmers. I just bought my CSS a few months ago, but after seeing the videos of the foam these skimmers produce. I am seriously looking for a ER, ASM or Octopus skimmer.
Excellent job on the video guys. I have 3 Euro-Reef skimmers, so I am going to attempt this mod on at least one of them. I'll let you know how it goes.
And I know what you mean about how long these videos take. I made a 12 minute tank tour of my 240. It took about 2 hours to shoot, and about 10 hours to edit. I still had a blast, though.
Thanks Guys, It is a lot of fun make those Videos.
We made another one that is about acrylic and that was like 3 days worth of recording and I'm in the process of setting up a New tank, 180g, which will be in wall tank, and we are also recording the progress of the tank, but this project will take at least 6 months to be completed because as part of the setup I need to finish the basement( that was the deal with my "BOSS"), and every steep of the way will be on tape, like a Video log instead of a Photo log.

That was my daughter trying to say that the skimmer was her skimmer
