Hi,
I ame thinking about buying a new Skimmer.
I currently have a deltec Sc1351)
(rated for 50g heavy stocked) with the new dcc2 sine wave pump but it runs quite inconsistent.
Specially after I fully cleaned it 2 weeks ago.. before cleaning it was running at 100% but now it starts to overflow at 80% even when I turn the water level in the skimmer at its lowest.
I have what I think is a very high bioload so a lack of protine in the water seems unlikely.
I have an 75g dt 12g sump and 5g refugium.
Filtration is:
Rollermat compact.
5g refugium with cheatomorpha and ai fuge on 50% 8hr full 2hr ramp.
Zeovit reactor (running zeovit method with Triton other methods addatives.
And the deltec skimmer
Th fish are:
1x yellow tang
1x Cole tang
5x wrasse ( coris-melanurus-flasher-2x cirrhilabrus
3x chromis
1x fridmani
1x salarias
2x clown
3xpeppermint shrimp
Hermids
Snails
I have a few sps medium colonys and some lps medium colonys and a bunch of lps and sps frags.
I am looking for a set it and forget it skimmer that skims well and consistent and fits a 12x12'' footprint.
I was looking at the bubble king 160 mini or dubble cone 150 but I don't now for shure if they be worth the big buck's..
I was also looking at a reef octopus Regal but those are starting at 100g heavy bioload.
The elite are in the same price range as the bubble king (atleast here in the EU).
Does any one has some tips thoughts about this?
