Hello!

[LauraBolyard]

I've been in the hobby for about 10 years. I was an active member of Talking Reef before it dissolved, and Reef Central has just gotten too big!! I hope to find a home here.

I've slacked on the hobby for the past year, but I'm diving back in!!

Welcome to R2R!!! No better place to dive back in than here.

Hey! Thanx for the welcome!! I'm in the process of overhauling a few things, kaching!!! I have a 125 gl reef. I just pulled out 3 halides and replaced with three orbit marine LEDs.

My Sedra 3500 for my Euro Reef skimmer died a year ago (my second one in as many years, Grrr...) and I hadn't replaced, but I didn't have much livestock and have a ton of live rock, so it hadn't been a problem. NOW I am in the market... I'm not sure that I'm willing to put $160 (plus $33 shipping) back into a pump that I'm not too crazy about (can't imagine why!). I'm looking for advice or suggestions. I have the EroReef RS 80. To scrap or not to scrap?!?!

Welcome to R2R!! As far as whether or not to scrap the skimmer, I probably would, I just can't see spending that much money on fixing it. I would go with another brand.

Thanx for the welcome Krista! I think, in the back of my mind, what I'm hoping is that someone here Is familiar enough with that skimmer. I wouldn't mind modding something. I'm just really unfamiliar with other skimmer pumps as this is the only type I've used. I HATE to scrap it, but will if I can't find an alternative!!

Welcome! I agree with Krista too. I run a SWC160. I love those skimmers. You can probably find some good skimmers on the forums here too. Keep your eye out!

*Welcome to Reef2Reef!* You may want to ask your skimmer question in the equipment area of the forum,I personally am not familiar with your model.My skimmer is a low end type,if the pump went out I would simply replace it with a similar one.
