Hi Angus,
Could you possibly tell me the distance between the top of the tank and the top of the strainer on the intake? I have a tank with a relitavley low waterline so I need to know if the intake is going to be long enough to reach the water, but I am defiantly interested.
I have tried to find out on the website but with no luck.
Kind regards,
Mark

That was the same issue I had, and even modding it doesnt work. I will check when i get home from work tonight, but I would guess at about 6 inches

5.5 inches it measures, but it needs to be under at least an inch
Hi Angus,
Thank you for the information but it is not long enough for my tank and I am sure extending it will douse problems.
Thank's anyway.
Regards,
Mark

No problem mate
I tried to extend it and the pump lost power !!!

Shame one of these wouldn't fit on the OceanReef Pico!

Please can you close this as I will use this skimmer in my new sump
Thanks
