Hi fellow reefers,
I run currently a Deltec 1000i on my 110g tank. I am struggling to get constant results in skimmate, as the Deltec needs frequent cleaning and doesn't really pull out much stuff. Never got dark stuff out, it doesn't even smell. I have a high bioload with many fish and my Nitrates and Phosphate is high: NO3 : 35, PO4: 0,75.
So I want to try a different skimmer, and I heard that Royal Exclusiv is a beast. Any recommendations or experiences? What model? There is the new Supermarin 160, anyone? Price is crazy though.
Then there is Ultra Reef skimmers, better price but also looks like solid build.
Or stick to Deltec? I suspect the double chamber floor is causing some trouble after it gets dirty...
Would you recommend any other brand?
BTW, I don't have any roller filter installed.
