O ring on Remora nano skimmer

[fishman65]

Hi guys, I just got my Skimmer and I dont know if I am just "special" or if it really is hard to get the o ring back into the skimmer around the collection cup. Does anyone have any tips?

I have the remora aqua c (I don't know if it's different on yours) and the o-ring rides on the collection cup outside the skimmer - It doesn't actually go down into the skimmer.

 

All it does is hold the cup at the height you want it. Once they break - and they will break a lot of people just use rubber bands to do the same thing.

Mne broke a year ago. I have been skimming on the lowest setting ever since, and getting great results. I dont mind if the skimmate is a little wet as long as its really dark and I get a lot of it. Removing salt water is actually a good thing in my system because I dose so much two part that it raises my salinity so this helps offset it.

 

I hear you can get a replacement at wal mart though.

mine broke last week if you have a true value they sell rubber O rings that will fit.

I always used mine at the lowest level. I did find that it cut a little noise out, you can find a replacement at a hardware store, Fastenal, grainger etc.

 

To keep it from drying out put a little silicone around it every now and then.

The instructions say to put alittle vasilene on your O-ring once in a while.

Thank you guys I knew I was just making it more complicated for myself.

+1. I had some questions about mine and they returned my call within two hours. The guy spent ten minutes on the phone with me and was very helpful.

Do as the sarge said. Then take a pic of yourself with your tank while wearing a hoodie.
