[matthewy8]

hey everyone its been a long time since ive been on here. i have a question for you. i just purchased a used protein skimmer and all i know is that its a euro reef brand skimmer bit im trying to find out what the model is and what its capacity is. there are no umbers on the unit and there are no identifing tags anywhere on it. let me know what you need to know and i will try to find out for you. it stands exactly 2ft tall and is a smidge over 8in in diameter. heres a picture of it.

Well its not recirculating so its a CS and 8" dia makes it a CS8-,

Im just not sure if its a CS8-2 or CS8-3

 

[Ben1]

http://www.euro-reef.com/oldskimmermodelspecs.shtml Yeah a RC8-2

I think but looks alot like http://www.euro-reef.com/rs180specs.shtml

IS the pump a SP3 or a SP4?

 

[matthewy8]

how can i tell what the pump is??there are no markings on it at all. im just trying to figure out if i got a good deal on the skimmer. and i had it narrowed down and think its close to the cs8-2 but the valve on mine is throwing me off.

 

[Ben1]

Well the gate valve he probably added after he bought it to make tuning the water level easier then using the riser tube. The silver label on the pump should have its model info on it.

 

[matthewy8]

the silver label is still on the pump but thats just it, lol its nothing but a silver label. i guess the writing has worn off of it.

I'm getting a bit blind in my not even close to old age, but it looks like a sedra pump, , I'd need a closer look to tell, does the pump have a handle on it?

 

[matthewy8]

yes it does have a handle.

I'm sure its a Sedra and the skimmer could be an ASM which I don't think is made anymore. The pump looks like the 3500 but I could easily be wrong on that.
