is there water flow when it's turning? (like a washdown?)

I gotta be a little honest and say I am skeptic about the over-all benefit. It will be interesting to see the effect on the skimmate with an obstruction. Would really like to see a video of this in action to see the effects...

You can also ship through Uship http://www.uship.com/

You can often get a pretty good rate especially if someone is driving somewhere anyway. A lot of OTR drivers will also pick something up when they are not running with a full load for some extra cash.

No way one would fit.

Yes, a full review is coming soon. I had to run it a bit first, to get an overall feel for the product.

Nice, not a bad turn around time either.

I think a review will be in order pretty soon, hopefully it works well though. If it is good I may have to get one of their skimmer kits.

Can the top be removed so we can get a "mermaid" photo?

That is sweet and for the cost you can't beat it

Images added to the original entry to explain the zones and flow pattern.

Updating blog entry above with new image.

Look up "Plastics" in your local yellow pages, or google some places like NationalPlastics.com to purchase it and have it shipped. I've got at least 3 companies in the Dallas / Fort Worth area that supplies acrylic. Home Depot has some pieces but usually they aren't big enough and you end up with waste. I purchase sheets 4' x 8' all the time.

Chris, the limit with Fedex Ground is 165" total inches and 70 lbs. That means Girth + Length, including the 4" of padding on all six sides. The Model G-modified is the biggest I can ship, measuring in at 54 x 17 x 16 and allows for an external pump like a Sequence Dart. Anything larger would likely be damaged because of the lack of padding around it while trying to stay inside 165".

I'm about to ship a sump on a pallet for the first time, but the customer did the shipping part so I don't know what it cost. That sump will be 60" x 24" x 16" and is another new layout. I'll post pictures of it soon. I'll ask what the bill was.

OK, that sump is considerably larger than my display tank! What's wrong with this picture?

but I gotta say, wow!

Awesome deal!

So, is that drinking Vodka, or dosing Vodka? Or have you yet to determine that.

That's a crazy sump dude.

Yeah, very nice "get" there Marc, and a great size for holding SW. Is it rated for liquid density? I would also install a 200g purified water tank. I have one that I never installed!

Nice! Now you need to buy a tank from the Crown Royal plant. :-)
