I have a ETSS 600 that has been running for about 11years. It seems lately that the foam decreased a lot. Running a IWAKI WMD-40RLT pump. Thinking of replacing the pump (cost too much to rebuild). Anyway should I stay with the same pump or is there a better (DC maybe) option? Also does anyone sell the ETSS 600 Skimming Tower Extenders ?
Skimmer just underrated on a 180 gal (bio-load). Thank You Ed |

You won't find the extenders for sale but any good plastic fabricator can make one real easy. I had a local do.a repair on my tower (1000) and he did a fantastic job....made it better.

Depends on the pump you use, higher pressure and flow the higher you can extend and more balls needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What bif24701 was saying is we need details..
Post a photo and measurements and tell us what pressure pump you are using or will use. Then answers will be possible.

Find the large (1.5" I think it is) bioballs. Somewhere in this thread will tell you how many you will need.

So I've never done this before. Today I removed the elbow that connects the hose to my panworld pump, and contains the air intake....the entire top assembly... And acid washed it.
Wow. If you have not done this or its been a year or more, do it. But first run hot running water through it to remove as much baked in salt as you can, and do it again after. You will be shocked at how much comes out. Well, after 5 years anyway it was A LOT!

I used a Mag9 on my Sump Buddy 40 (still have it, don't use it). I think the Mag 10 would work with SB60. I don't have any experience with the SB 60 or a Mag 10, but the Mag 9 provided plenty of turnover for my SB40.

Does anyone have a large-ish ETSS lying around unused? I need to replace/redo the assembly that injects the water into the tower. Best I can tell the black piece with he air intake hole is glued in....so looking to buy that assembly from someone.

I still run mine. I've a basement sump so lots of room. Successful tank that I started in 1993, it's undergone A LOT of changes. the one piece that has never changed is the ETS.
Sad I gotta break the tank down soon. (Remolding the room.) But I get to set up a new tank once finished. |

I know this may be stretch since this thread hasn't been active in awhile, but does anyone have a picture or can take a picture of the 1.5in bioballs in the downdraft? I am trying to find replacements. Thanks in advance.
