Bubble Blaster 3000

Today I installed the Bubble Blaster 3000 on my Vertex IN-180. The connection plumbing needed 1" I.D. PVC plumbing and a few minor adjustments but other than that it was an easy modification. This pump easily outperforms the stock Resun pump. I will post photos tomorrow.

The finished product

Here is the new skimmer plumbed into my 120 gallon tank.

New Sump

Here is a picture of the new sump and protein skimmer. I took out the two Koralia 3's because it was too much flow for my corals.

New skimmer

I received the new skimmer today, it's huge! I'm giving it a 24 hour vinegar bath.

Ordered the Vertex IN-180

I placed my order for a new generation II Vertex IN-180 protein skimmer. I read many good reviews for this skimmer and it comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty. It should be here some time next week!
