I recently purchased this skimmer from you and I am wondering if it will fit in the skimmer section of the Emerald Sump 26 - Trigger Systems - The specs call our the footprint of this skimmer as 10" x 11" and the skimmer area of the Emerald 26 sump is 9" x 10" - I'm wondering if it will actually fit given the configuration of this skimmer and the true area of the sump. Thanks!
Question by: Joshua Hanson on Sep 11, 2017, 2:16 PM
Hey there,
Thanks for getting in touch with us in regards to fitting this skimmer into the Emerald 26 sump. This would NOT fit into the Emerald 26. It would be just a little bit too large. I can say however if you are looking to fit a larger skimmer onto this sump, I would recommend looking into a space saving skimmer that houses the pump in the base of the skimmer. Please let me know if there is anything else that we can assist with. Thanks!

On the ozone, is there a hourly limit like on other skimmers? (ex. 50mg/h) also, how do you run carbon on the exit since its underwater? I run a external recirculation Mazzi style skimmer so not schooled up on the new gen stuff. Thanks!
Question by: Alec on May 2, 2016, 10:27 PM
Great question!
There is not an hourly limit for the skimmer. In most cases if you are planning on running ozone you can add a bag of carbon to the output and in the collection cup. This is often why we recommend an ozone reactor instead of running ozone and your main skimmer at the same time.

What is the Optimal water height for this skimmer it gives a wide range off water heights,What height do you get the best daek skimmate
Question by: Bryan Herschmann on Mar 30, 2016, 7:27 AM
Great question!
The optimal height will change depending on the load of your tank as well as many other factors. Typically around 7 inches or the lower end will make it harder for the skim to reach the top causing darker thicker skim. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

Hi, I am pre planning my reefer 525xl and wonder in a heavy bioload tank if this will be enough? Do you use the total system volume or just the display tank volume?
Question by: TODD EOSSO on Mar 22, 2016, 8:20 PM
Great question!
In most cases you will base the volume off of the tank. If the sump is large enough with a large refugium you can take that into consideration however for the reefer you can simply base the skimmer off of the tank volume The 180i would be a great fit for medium bio-load. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

Can this be used external, specifically can this be modded to be used in conjunction with a canister filter?
Question by: Jon on Mar 6, 2016, 12:17 AM
Great question!
This skimmer is unable to be run externally and will need to be placed in a sump. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!

What is the diameter of the collection cup?
Question by: Grant Brewer on Jul 31, 2014, 5:54 PM
Hi Grant,
It would be 180mm :) With most skimmers the model number actually correlates to the diameter.
