New Aquamaxx Skimmers....

[Forsaken77]

Just wanted to let the Aquamaxx fans know they came out with a newer line of skimmers. They're cone and much taller with a slimmer diameter.

FC-180 is equivalent to the Q2.
FC-280 is equivalent to the Q3.
There's a smaller one also, the FC-80.
This is per Aquamaxx btw.

Here is an email I got from them explaining the differences, besides the cone shape and being taller

-Adjustable air intake
-Secured bubble plate assembly, with newly designed bottom plate
-Newly designed, precise and detachable outlet gate/valve
-Separate ozone venturi connection, except for the smaller FC-80
-Newly designed hemispherical (lid) collection cup
-Smaller base with approximate 7.5" diameter
-The 2 bigger skimmers have a recommended water depth of 8-9 inches

They're also cheaper than the regular Q-line.

Can't wait to see how they work. Back to the reliable cone.

When I look at the bubble tubes, I always think its going to be a nightmare to clean. Only reason, Ive never bought one.

A 30min dip in vinegar semi annually is a nightmare?
