get it wet, break it down and get some citric acid then dilute 1 to 4 parts water and let all parts soak at least 24hrs.I inherited this BM Curve 5 from someone shutting down their tank, and I looked up a setup guide but it looks like it's missing a tube between these two parts that I've drawn a blue line on. What is this tube supposed to be for/can I use the skimmer without it, or how do I go about getting a new part? I live in Canada so a Canadian company that sells the part would be appreciated if anyone has any suggestions. Also from the picture, does it look like it's missing anything else?
would not be too much flow. just turbulent and if the overflow chamber fluctuates in water level it would be an issue.
post a pic of your sump
Yikes! does that sump have any baffles? I can't tell
Sump is wide open I just have some old filter floss and bio balls from my old tank in there ; I used them to seed new tanklooks like an open sump to me

167gallonswhat is your display volume ?
darn! The 840 is a good skimmer too. do you have the ATB volute from the original air star pump?Skimmer opinions for a Red Sea 300xl?
currently running my ATB 840v2 but it has a bubble blaster 2000 on it and the pump is noisy and under preforms.
ATB wants $300+ for a replacement (I don’t really want a Jecod product either and the dc sicce is stupid money)
the psk1000 that I have found don’t come with volute
Have you looked at the elegance 150 skimmer offers at atb usa. Think they are under 400. Sicce blocks. They are the new press fit base and bb plate designs. No screws. Bb plate is held in by the intake venturi for quick disassembly. Some people love it some not so much. My nano one has it and i like it.The Ultra reef look nice, I oddly miss the old reef octopus space saver cones mine used to crush it on my old 120
i run 6 inch >700 lph skimmers on my 60 and they skim just fine. the 150INT is variable so you have a lot more tuneability than an AC pump. They are rated at 75 heavy load up to 180 light.My Waterbox Marine X 90.3 is going to be delivered next week. Main display is 60 gallons with a 25 gallon sump. My eventual plan is move slowly, to have a mixed reef, and pack it with fish and coral. To take this into account, while researching I was under the understanding that one should buy a skimmer to handle a reef that you’ll have in a year from now instead of what you have now. So I went out and bought a Reef Octopus Elite 150INT. Skimmer is rated at 100 gallons heavy bioload.
1. Did I buy a skimmer that’s too big and therefore the wrong one?
2. what RO/DI system would one recommend? I’d like something decent that without a ton of wastewater (1:1.5 or 1:2, or am I really over thinking this).
Thanks.
