euroreef skimmer question

My sump maintains a pretty high water level and I was wondering what
the water level range, in inches, was supposed to be used with euroreef
skimmers. I would consider getting one except that I'm not sure it
would work in my sump. Looking forward to any advice from someone who
has one. Thanks.

I believe the recommendation in my manual is 6-8 inches for CS6-1.
My sump is much deeper than that so I just built a simple stand out of PVC.

Hmm, what is the height of the stand you tank is on? I have the
worthless AGA pine stand and the skimmer looks like it would fit,
barely, underneath it with no room for a riser. Marc, by the ones that
allow 11" depth I assume you mean the giant ones right? The tank is
only a 75 gallon. What would be the one to get?

Each model of the Euroreef line will have MFG's recommended depths listed for
the model in question. You want a skimmer that matches your total water volume,
plus some.

If you have a 75g display, plus a sump, I'd look for a skimmer that can skim
150g. Remember, I have an Aqua C Ev-200, rated for 200g on my 55g tank.

Thanks marc,
I guess I already knew that I was just hoping that the CS6-1 would
work. I don't know if the CS8-1 has too large a footprint but I
definately need a 20" tall one for it to work. Where is the best price
available on these models.

The info I got said that the recent revision of recommended tank sizes was
much closer to true than what used to be the case.
Jeff at H2O Tropicals gave me this info- I bought a CS6-1 from him for a 90
gallon system (rated 100 gallons) and if anything it skims too much..

Some Euroreefs can sit in 11" of water.

My Euroreef actually works better at a higher sump level. Go figure. when
the sump level gets low from evaporation my skimmer doesn't work well.
