Duke Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Can you help set up my AP850? Where does the water enter and exit this skimmer? Blue or gray tap? Why two taps and it looks like the pipe on the blue tap has had skimmer water running through it? What size pump do I use to run it? Any help would be appriciated. Also any idea what all this air line inputs are for? How does this P600 work? Where does the water enter and exit? What is the red knob thing?

slappers Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 water enters the one with the tap and exits on the other one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappers Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 the air line on your skimmer is missing the adjuster which meant to sit on the black hose that goes into the pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puttputt Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Duke, this is a better site. Stroll down and open the pdf file for skimmer instructions. Diagrams etc within this. Same for the Calcium reactor, click on the appropriate menu and open the installation instructions for this also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Slapper thanks for the info. I got these from Ebay Germany..... $1000 for both landed. Where can I get spare parts if required? I was planning to use my 1260 to run the skimmer which should be OK. I will get a new air valve from the garden center. Any ideas on the P600 reactor air line tubes?

Duke Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Puttputt... this info is for the new calcum reactor PF600 not the P600. I'll keep looking on the net. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 For the skimmer, water runs into the top, exits the bottom, I ran mine (way back when) off a gravity feed off the tank overflows. For the reactor, I believe the top red part would be to bleed off gas build up and can be used to install a PH probe for spending more money.... The outlet (water) would be the thin pipe exiting the pump outlet side, the two inlet for water and CO2 in will be on the inlet sode of the pump. Don't know if that helps or not Regards Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I shut all the taps on the 850 and filled it up with fresh water and then run the air pump. Should I see lots of bubbles or is saltwater and 1000l pump needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misnoma Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 You won't see many bubbles unless it's saltwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmatix Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 you should be bublles in the chamber as the same amount of air will be drawn in no skimmate tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
