What skimmer are you using right now at this moment?

[ivonnevaldez]

Reef octopus classic 150 internal on my 125.

I just switched out my Bubble Master 250 ( which was pretty decent ) for a Reef Octopus 5000 int which is pretty awesome, on my 233.
I need to empty the skimmer cup every 4-5 days or it really starts stinking up the house.

How long have you used these for? I have one but it's been giving us a hard time lately as far as bubbles. I recently had to clean it with vinegar.

Using a SRO XP 8000 on my 400G total system volume around 800 G.
Pretty happy with it. A bit on the noisy side but again with that size you wouldn't expect it to be next or under a tank so its not an issue.

RO prime 200 works well.

I just got it last week. So far so good. The instructions said the whole skimmer needs to be cleaned periodically. Don't remember how often.

Wow! Everyone seems to love their skimmer. That being the case, how the heck can you possible chose from all of the brands if everyone claims to have no problems?? :tongue:

I have the best of all its the odyssea ps75 and its skims and makes skimmate and only cost me $40 lol

 

[hanktank]

I have a coralife 60g HOB super skimmer I think it's made cheap and it's not quiet like it says it should be

 

[hanktank]

And it also just stops bubbling at times for no reason what so ever

 

[143MPCo]

RODC3000EXT

EXT300 and RO-POVDC2.

 

[Big Larr]

Which one just stops bubbling at times

 

[hanktank]

The coralife 60g superskimmer

 

[143MPCo]

@Big Larr, if you're asking me the answer is neither as both are DC motored and I have yet to have a issue.

 

[steve&mari]

I got a 65g super skimmer at a deal but never even tried it before I got the bubble magus Nac 6 we're going with instead lol.

 

[Big Larr]

Oh ok was gonna say I haven't had trouble with my el cheapo skimmer yet but will see how long it will last

 

[joninogarcia]

Swc 160 cone. I've had it for a few yrs. works great.

 

[thejuggernaut]

Reef Life Support Systems (RLSS) R8-i. Very happy with this skimmer on my 140!

Do you have a build thread? I would like to see more details on that sump. I've never seen a glass sump with drop in sock holders like that. Did you make it

 

[bluering09]

I'm running a Diablo XS-200 on a 150g SPS dominate.

 

[jedi6]

Vertex Omega 150 on my 90 Gal. Reef.
Works great and I love being able to take it completely apart for cleaning unlike my old SRO.

 

[hipower]

Tunze DOC 9001 on a JBJ 20 gal Frag tank. I'm going to get a CAD Lights PLS-50 and try that next
