Skimmer/overflow update

[Trent]

With Scott's help the ccv 626 PM skimmer has been temporarily installed in a sump. Charged by the Sedra 12000.
Ooo the power.:)
After the final curing is done on the overflow, it will be tested.
Think good thoughts...no leaks, no wet floors. ;)

No intitation...:D

nah.. he already got a wet floor while i was there.... I'll let him explain that one:D

Hehehe, ya well that was just a momentary lack of thought.
Over all I think it was a great learning experience.

But here's the big update!!!...Overflow up and running!
Based on Scott's suggestions the design is working great.
I simulated a power outage. waited a while. The overflow output stopped right away. It looked like it wasn't going to start on its own again after power was restored to the pump but alas it did!!!
Happy Happy Overflow.
And Derik...you're right, no initiation for me I guess.
Yet I really shouldn't boast so soon.
It may still happen.

Thanks again Scott. ;o)

Still a bit early to say. There was a change in the foam. Seemed to dry up. I'm not sure what I'm looking for. It think it still needs to be 'dialed in' so to speak.
The tank overflow splashes into the 'fuge.
Made a skimmate collection bucket inside the sump.
Gunna leave it running overnight and see if I had a soaked floor in the morning.
It should work fine.

This to me is the biggest advancement to the tank since the LR was added.
