Hey,
Happy that I found your channel, I will be setting up a 375 gallon tank using bashsea products. How tall is your stand? I see you will have no issues cleaning the skimmer cup. Amazing setup!
Thank you! This aquarium and stand had two options for the stand when we ordered from Planet Aquariums. A 36” or a 42”. We went with a 42” stand for eye level viewing and for hight clearance on equipment in the sump area. We knew the skimmer would be massive. We are loving the Bashsea products as well. Best of luck to you on your build. 👍
What connection are you using for the pump connection to the barbed fitting on the skimmer that allowed you to hard plumb it?
We used a flex line from the hard plumbing to the barb connector on the skimmer. This specific Bashsea skimmer requires a 1” input line from the pump. The pump already has a union made to it so, this is the order of assembly from the pump to the skimmer. 1” union at the pump glued to a straight 1” PVC. Straight 1” PVC glued to a 1” 90 degree slip to slip elbow. 1” 90 degree slip to slip elbow glued to 1” straight PVC. 1” straight PVC to 1” barb fitting (slip). 1” barb (slip) to 1” flex hose line. 1” flex hose line connects to 1” barb on the skimmer. @ 0:27 you can see all the plumbing assembly pretty well. Hope this is helpful. Thanks for the question.
I'm setting up a 340-gallon mixed reef tank, would you recommend the Bashsea 8-30 skimmer?
Absolutely! I get excellent results out of the one on the 310. If you don’t purchase the pump that Bashsea offers with the skimmer, make sure you choose an adequate pump to match the skimmer. This skimmer is a beast and it requires a high GPH pump. 👍
It doesn't come through in the video how big this skimmer is. I have the 8-24 and it is massive! Easily a 12" by 8" footprint and at least a foot and a half tall. Works great, though.
Yes. It is a very large skimmer and has a large footprint in the sump. It definitely needs the Bashsea SS-60 sump (or some other brand of large sump) to accommodate for the size. It’s an excellent skimmer and we’ve had no issues with it. 👍
poor quality construction. there was defects in the plastic causing it to leak. the owner of bashsea refused to warranty it. I hope you never have to deal with him on an issue. I got stuck with mine. now I'm out almost 700 dollars. plus the pump.
We’re sorry you’ve had a bad experience with them. We understand it happens, and we hate you couldn’t work something out with them. Like we said, we’ve had a great experience with them and love the craftsmanship of their work.
I bought one of these. its a piece of junk. there is no warranty. the manufacturer is very hard to deal with.
We replied to your comment in our previous video. We’d like some details on what’s going on. We absolutely love it and have had no problems with the skimmer. Great performance and great craftsmanship. I’m unsure what issues you’re having.
