skimmer

I have an almost new Reef Octopus Elite 220SSS skimmer for sale. I only used it 3 months. It works freaking awesome and is still like new. Good for 150-450 gallons. I have the original box and can ship for actual cost. This skimmer was over $1200 new from BRS and was my pride and joy. I just...

I am selling my Red Sea skimmer 900. It is far too large for my setup and I purchased a smaller skimmer. The skimmer is 2 months old and is in great condition. In addition, I am selling my lifeguard aquatics reactor. Please let me know if you are interested. Skimmer - $450 Reactor - $100

Looking for NYOS Quantum 220 Skimmer. Pm me if you have one for sale.

Hi, I am having a very hard time deciding on whether or not to get a protein skimmer or a refugium for my 20gallon AIO cube. I have 3 chambers in the back of my AIO, the first has the heater, the middle has filtration like a sponge, carbon, and ceramic, and the final has the return pump. I would...

Hello guys I have zero idea how a skimmer works or if I even need a skimmer, I’m setting a 13.5 gallon tank (the evo) and I got this fluval skimmer with it(I don’t even know what it does) do I need to use it? What’s the purpose of a skimmer? I briefly tried to read on it and is it suppose to...

Hey all. I about 8 months ago I broke down my 90 gallon reef due to aptasia running rampid and started up a small Aqueon frameless cube with homemade rock scaping. It is ok but I feel like I was missing something. I remembered I have been trying to sell my old 40 breeder tank with DIY stand but...

Have you ever dropped your skimmer cup lid while cleaning it only to have it crack in half? Me neither. I modeled this because I'm thinking of adding a float switch to my skimmer and didn't want to drill the original. I thought it might be useful to others that have either lost or broke theirs...

Looking at protein skimmers for my Red Sea Reefer XL200 (53 total gallons). Debating between Simplicity Aquatics DC 120 or Reef Octopus Classic 110in. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi Everyone, Looking for the skimmer in good condition. Please PM me if you have one available for sale. Thanks -Jeff

I attached a rough image of what I intend my new frag tank setup with a ZooMed Low Boy to look like (I'm not the guy he's just a reference for height) what are some pieces of equipment you all suggest? I already have a sump for the system and an array of lights including 2 LEDs, a T5 fixture and...

I have a new c-vue 45 AIO that I'm cycling, and would like to find a skimmer that will fit in the small space provided in the sump area. I will link a photo of each baffles dimensions. I've seen a lot of people recomend the tunze 9004, and while I know it's a great skimmer I've heard issues with...

Does anyone have a Comline DOC 9012? I just turned mine on for the first time today and the Reservoir just fills up with water and spit water all over my back wall has anyone experienced this? I have the motor turned all the way down to

So I’m not sure what is causing this but I just got this coralife filter and when I plug it in it seems fine for a second then it rapidly fills the collection cup then when it’s full it starts spraying out of the little hole all over the back of the tank and floor. And I mean like spraying, over...

Hi all new here and new tank owner (literally). I bought a used setup with all HOB style filter and skimmer. My tank is cycling as I type this (90gallon with a new Fluval 407 suggested by local shop). Obviously i do not have a sump. My local shop has set everything up for me so far but said...

So some background: I inherited this 50 (I am told) gallon Plexiglass tank. It came pre-established (don't know how long, but at least a year). It is a wedge design, with an overflow filter in the back. I have had the water quality tested several times...it is near perfect. I have it tested at...

Hi everyone, this is my first time on this forum so please forgive me if I post this in the wrong spot. I am working on an aquarium project for University and am tasked with "injecting a set amount of biological material into the system so that the performance of the skimmer can be automatically...

Hello, I was curious whether my skimmer is deep enough in chamber 1 based on these photos. Could someone let me know? Thanks!

How long does everyone think it should take to fill a proper skimmer cup? I think it would be a good gage of a skimmers proper sizing & tuning. What's everyone's opinion on this? Why?

Hey guys I am willing to upgrade my skimmer for my Red Sea Max Nano AIO. So, the space is kinda limited and I am wondering if there would fit a Tunze 9001? Not sure as I seem not to find any info about people upgrading the skimmer. For me the skimmer delivered with the AIO tank ifself is way...

I have a PLS-50 Elite II skimmer by CAD lights. The pump got busted recently and I can't find a replacement as it looks like the company is no longer in business. Are skimmer pumps with the pinwheels universal? I want to be sure the performance is the same. I love this skimmer, it does and...

Does anyone have experience with this skimmer? I can't seem to find any reviews online for it. It generally runs for about $200 dollars, and I am wondering if it will be enough to work on a well-stocked 75 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump. I was looking at buying from AquaCave here...

Wanting to upgrade some stuff! Anyone selling a trident system to improve my monitoring, also looking to buy a Red Sea skimmer, ideally an RSK 600, but open to a RSK 300, also a salinity probe for Neptune,

So I am currently using the reef glass nano skimmer on my biocube 32, its been working pretty good and been collecting a decent amount of skimmate. Just wondering if anyone knowa how hight the bubbles are supposed to be in relation to the stopper, Im not even sure if it really matters because...

Hey guys, I still get micro bubbles from QQ3. I already have it for almost 2 days also my foam doesn’t look right I think. Any help to remove the microbubbles and set the skimmer the right way up…? Thanks

Hi everyone, Hope everyone’s doing great. Since it’s super cold outside, my house windows are closed up and my ph has dropped a lot. I am planning to add a nano skimmer to my 15 gallon reef tank. The skimmer I am planning is called the reef glass nano which is driven by an external air pump...
