Anyone else use Eshopps skimmers?

I ordered an EShopps axiom x-120 tonight. I ordered it because it had the best size foot print compared to the bubble magus I was looking at.

I hope it’s a good skimmer lol.

<shrugs> well you win some you loose some. How bad can it be? It’s not like it’s brand new technology

I have an older Eshopps 120 skimmer and it is well built and I have never had any issues with it.

My LFS runs a few and they always seem to be skimming when I am in there

Good old "hear say" hey, let me guess you heard from "them".

I just bought and installed a new S-200 4th generation Eshopps skimmer.
My old SSA CS-1 was a little undersized ( my opinion) and was looking for a budget skimmer.
I picked this one because I knew the psk-1000 pump was decent one and usually ran fair quiet.
I just installed it Saturday.

My S120 has been great, 4 or 5 years old now, no complaints.

At a quick perusal 50% are skimmers running in, and the first one needed skimmer height adjustment.

Yeah new skimmers that needed breakin. Nano skimmers which are hard to dial in anyway.
Plus I found that the excess micro bubbles are there, but you have to balance the air intake with the outflow valve.
Not that hard to figure out.

I got mine today. It’s all purple and looks like a bong
