Bubble Magus NAC 7 Skimmer. Experience?

[RichtheReefer21]

Just grabbed this used after being wet for a year. Got a great deal on it.

Just wanna sniff out known issues, flaws, defects, or things to look out for in the future.

TIA

None, you now can upgrade to a sicce pump if you want to, but I won't unless you need a bigger pump or that one goes out.

Are the BM pumps known to fail?

Really no issues. Using this on a custom 55g and it's working just fine - in fact it might be a bit too strong for such a small tank. I do clean it every six months though, take it out, disassemble, clean the pump...

No issues with that skimmer, people use them on a 120 gallon tank with no problems.

Mine is a 125g. 155g with sump volume included. Perfect.

Thanks for the input.

Not the pump itself, but I did loose an impeller and it runs a bit louder than Sicce sometimes. Easy to get a replacement.
