New skimmer line | Teaser

[BSchlecht]

We have been testing this new line of skimmers for the last year or so with great results. Expect to hear more soon

 

[MikeyB]

Ooh can't wait to see the info. Even though I know what skimmer that is as I'm using the same one currently

 

[AsphaltPays]

Is that a skimz skimmer? SM201?

 

[sawdonkey]

Looks just like my skimz sm201

 

[BSchlecht]

A lot of Skimz owners apparently! How are you guys liking those?

 

[pirate2876]

SM 203 owner here. Love mine. Its silent, efficent and fits in a tight spot.

 

[BSchlecht]

Can't ask for much more then that!

 

[sawdonkey]

I'd say the same for my 201. It takes a little tweaking every few days to make sure the bubbles are breaking at the right height in the neck, but it really pills out some sick stuff! This is just a couple of days worth of grossness!

 

[BSchlecht]

Holy smokes! Am I the only one who feels weird every time I get excited about fish poo?

Nope, we're all in the same disgusting boat!

 

[BSchlecht]

Lol. It's a wonder I found a wife who puts up with it

Are they still using the eden pumps? That's their weak point IMO.

I think the sk models have the Eden 2800, which I've read is loud. My sm201 has the es5000, which I believe is still an Eden, but it is silent and I have no complaints.

 

[gar732]

Yeah, I've read that the 5000 was good but the smaller pumps seem to be hit or miss. I have a 121 body that is practically brand new but after two pumps and having to pay for postage to send them back I just gave up on it. I was happy with it while it was working though, unfortunately that wasn't a very long time. I also had an sk181 that worked well for me, I got lucky with that one. I like their designs and build quality but will not bother with anything running the smaller pumps.

 

[BSchlecht]

Sorry to hear you had a problem with the small one, haven't run into that myself. Glad to hear your having good results with the sk181 though. Atleast there is a silver lining!

I have dc model...Rated for 300g on a 54 corner with sump under the stand...0_o I love it. I have to empty it at least 2 times a week. I bought mine second hand for 250...I haven't owned a high end skimmer and from my understanding they are 3x the price of these. Soo to me it is top of the line!

 

[BSchlecht]

Good to hear. They certainly don't have the price point of some of the really high end/expensive models out there, but they certainly have better then average build quality, especially for there price.
