Not on your skimmer body.. The Deltec unit will fit on a 10" or larger Deltec skimmer body.

Jon, What ever happen to the Elos skimmer you were trying?

I liked the skimmer but could not dial it in to stay steady. I had problems with salt choking the venturi so the air flow would get resticted or stop. I ended up sending the skimmer to joe tubs in new hampshire he is now selling the elos products in his new store.

Good timing, Joe just PM me today. Did yo know he now works in\runs a store that is rated the best LFS by the Boston reef club?

I am thinking about ordering a custom tank from elos without seeing one in person, I hope I am not going down the same path as my DAS experiance.

I've not seen the tanks but I've seen the lighting fixture, a CA reactor,and the skimmer, I've never seen any equipment as well made as thier stuff is.

Also you can't compare the DAS service to the ELOS service.
ELOS will take care of any problem right away.
The owner of the company fed-ex-ed me parts from Italy himself.
And Jesse will always be here to take of you

well this past weekend i finally got to get my DAS EX-1 going. I added a gate valve to the outlet right above the union.

I was pretty impressed after just turning it on. It had a foam head after just about an hour. It was very loud for the first 5-10mins, but then the pump quieted down to a normal operating level. It is now quiet (not silent) and operating at the same noise level of every other NW skimmmer I've had (H&S, ASM, CSS), but my girlfriend isnt happy. We live in a loft style apartment in washington, so there's not as much seperation between the living room and the bed room as a normal house/apartment, plus the high ceilings carry sounds very well. So the venturi is slightly audible from our bedroom because the back of the stand that is open is pointing towards our bedroom/hallway. I am hoping after a couple weeks it willl quiet down even more, or else I will be blowing my load on a BK 160 if I want to be allowed to keep the tank.
