I did end up getting the 24” lifereef with the Sicce pump. It’s been doing well and I take a skimmer cup full of skimmate out every couple of days. It’s dark enough you can’t see light through it.

Which sicce pump did you use? What size tank do you have and what is the total water volume of your system?
I currently use a Mag pump but thinking of using a Sicce soon. Do you have any photos of your sicce plumbed to the skimmer
Can you use a skimmate locker with a LifeReef skimmer?

My understanding is that you can not use a skimmate locker. You might want to call Jeff and talk to him.
I had tried one and it failed. I ended up running a small 3/8" tube from the drain on the skimmer directly to a drain I have in my basement. I control it with a solenoid and use my Apex to open the drain line once a day for 5 minutes. Works like a charm and I don't have to worry about cleaning out a big smelly container, only the the cup.
To those of you running the 24" skimmer with the Sicce - I'm curious where the water level is inside your skimmer to get good skimmage.
I've been considering the Sicce ADV 7.0 or a 9.0. Several years ago I switched to a Syncra Silent from the Mag 12 and it's not performing as well as it used to. My water level in the skimmer is pretty high (just higher than the body).
