im going to buy a skimmer tomorrow
For a 90 gallon tank 125 gallon set up.
My choices are between deltec or nyos does anyone have any input?
As I am torn

Oh you know you want to get the Helix 5000 LOL
Deltec would be my vote

Second this! Lol!

Twill how come?

 

[twilliard]

When it comes to available parts I think Deltec will win. (especially the motor parts)
The design of Nyos is not bad but not the best for maintenance IMO

 

[justingraham]

Ok even with ecotech selling the nyos?
The price for both of them is about the same that's why I'm torn. I've talk to a few people with nyos and they love them and I know Adam at battle corals swears by deltec so that's where I'm at right now cause I'm sick of having a decent skimmer I want the best for once something I don't have to worry about

 

[twilliard]

I just don't think you can go wrong with Deltec based on design.
So now order up that Orphek skimmer! LOL

 

[justingraham]

I just googled the orphek
No one is selling it how much is it?

 

[twilliard]

[justingraham]
