Putting this on the Christmas list for 2021. Jeff has produced a new custom skimmer model with dual Mazzei venturis on a 10" diameter cylinder. I am picturing this skimmer running with two Ecotech Vectra M2's and producing an insane amount of air volume. My current model is a SVS2-24 with 4" extensions running a single Vectra M2 and Mazzei venturi.
This model stands 30" tall and would need a minimum 12" X 15" footprint in a sump.

It is a good practice to completely replace reactor media on a periodic basis. Annually seems to be sufficient depending on how the tanks demand and reactor output.
Also below is an updated look at the LR skimmer with recirculating CO2 scrubber through the BRS Jumbo.
