I'm interested in using this pump for an older skimmer body that I have on hand. It's the Euro-Reef RS 180. I'm curious to know what a new pump ships with as far as output fittings. The picture appears to have a slip union. I need to get from the output of the pump into a female 1" slip fitting to make it work. Can you tell me what adapter that I would need, if any and if there is a reason that this pump wouldn't work with the rs180? It has an 8" euro-reef body, 4.5" neck,and It's 24" tall. Thank you

The Bubble Blaster 3000 should work fine on your Euro Reef skimmer with its specs. The pump comes with a 1in slip union which should make for an easy attachment to your skimmer body. So as long as you have a 1" PVC pipe coming from the skimmer body the female end of the union that ships with the pump will insert over it.
You will likely have to cut down the output valve on you skimmer and lower it to allow for the extra performance of the pump. The skimmer will also run best at about 6.5in of sump water.
