Yeh your setup is old school. Euro reef is like out of business. Pc that's like my old vhs. By any chance your halide is Hamilton's?

Hammelton is still makeing those and your euroreef skimmer is a better built skimmer than almost anything on the market today. Air welded joints, not glued. Craftsmanship for the long haul.

Thank you all for input and compliments. Yes it was time consuming with a lot of corrections. Eventually I would like to believe maintenance will be quick. And my systems still has three phases to go. Diatomic, red then green. Somewhere in there coralline algae ;)
