Odyssea PS160 Does anyone have one of

Does anyone have one of these skimmers. I need help to put one together for a " in sump " application. These things dont come with instructions. I need help!!!!!

 

Here's a Pic from Odyssea PS160 Protein Skimmer - 705006

It says it shows "In-Sump" setup if that helps any...

Hey OGW, thanks so much, that is a big help!!!!! Thank you;D

 

Keep me posted as to how this Skimmer works if you will.
I had that link saved because I was looking at it thinking about getting one!

 

wish you luck with that machine

HI,
I had lots of problems with mine finally disked it and went with a coral life,
It was a pain to tune and would overflow constantly keep it it in the sump, or you may find a wet spot under it.

I think I had the P 75 maybe it was to small.

 

How long did you have the skimmer? Did your skimmer come with the instructions? If you still have it, I would REALLY appreciate it!!!! My email is antonio2006@bellsouth.net

 

sound slike an aquatrader purchase

Hi,
If you visit the aquatraders web page they let you download the manual for the pump/skimmer , they never send instructions with the equipment I had a similar problem with a light and finally found the instructions on their web page, had a heck of time installing the light clamp for the tank, never had the foot stands and they are pretty weird how they attach learning curve..

dang can't find the product link sorry..

 

A configuration issue

Hi all, I've discovered that the odyssea 160 i acquired for my tank is too tall to install 'hang-on' inside my cabinet, and therefore it appears my only option is 'in-sump' but i am loath to do this because it will take up half my refugium.

I thought I may be able to use the following setup:


I've been told however that the 'drain' from skimmers works purely on gravity, and therefore the 's' bend in the pipe would prevent the skimmer return working.

I am wondering if anyone who owns one of these could confirm this, or will the above system work in my tank?

cheers

 

It might work, but I think that it will effect the performance of the skimmer. Just wondering, hows it working for you? I bought one and I must say, I couldnt get it to work like a skimmer. Luna

 

As I explained, I haven't installed it yet, because of space issues! As for yours, apparently you need to run it for some time before it builds up a 'slime' coating which allows it to make skimmate... give it some time.
