Deltec protein skimmers

[larrysaltisfun]

As I may be pitching, my Red Sea RSK 600 , I was wondering if anybody had experience with the Deltec line of skimmers. they seem to be very efficient with a small footprint. Do they live up to their reputation on BRS? Any drawbacks?

I've had the deltec 600i since January, I would say its the best skimmer I've ever used. Its easy to dial in, easy to clean, and does a great job.

Thank you sir what size tank do you have it in and what would you recommend for 210 medium stock?

Is footprint as small in reality as it seems to be in description?

Mine is a 40 breeder with a 20 gallon sump, I went overkill but I wanted something that was hassle free. I would judge the footprint to be about the same size as any skimmer I've used before, I would not call it 'small'.

The deltec 1000i is rated for up to 255 gallons, but if you like overkill like I do then the 1500i.

I think I will too. The footprint looks great thank you very much.

Replaced my reef octopus skimmer with the deltec 600i and it’s easily the best in sump skimmer I’ve ever used. It’s as set and forget as they come. Phenomenal highly recommend

Thank you for your input trying to dial in the red sea RSK 600. It’s literally a tweak between skimming and super overflow and now it’s been going bananas ever since I treated WITH CHEMICLEAN or possibly outflow is blocked on top of my stand, but I don’t think so. I’ll probably take it out and sell it on eBay for a couple hundred dollars.
