Getting a vinegar bath and yes this $100 skimmer kicks azzz and I wouldn't have it any other way. Original Atman 2500 pump and impeller

I have a new one for my tank when i get it set up. Hope it works as good as everyone says it does!
 
My only complaint with my 302 was the pump failed to restart without giving the impelelr a spin with a screwdriver and it didnt have a ball valve control. I now use a reef octo int 200 with a sicce pump
 
glad I seen this post I was thinking about buying one of these for my new build. Now I can buy it with a little more confidence
 
I hear the pumps lifespan sux and it's hard to use a different pump after they crap out
 
Anyone with the 301 or 302 have issues with microbubbles? I have a 302 that kicks out crazy microbubbles.
 
I have had my 302 for i think 3 years now with Flawless results. I have never had a restart issue with mine. I did have a few microbubbles early on but I believe once it slimed up good, they went away. I only clean mine one a year or so and it kicks out some nasty funk. the venturi rarely clogs with salt creep like my old Reef Octopus did. I love mine.
