Your significant other will really love this device. Simply plug it into a timer (not included) or aquarium controller and set it to run for a few minutes 4 to 6 times per day. When run this way, no gunk will build up and fall back into your water. Your skimmer's neck will stay crystal clear all the time!

Wow! Are there any users yet? Would love to hear some feedback! You wouldn't happen to have a size that would fit the ATB 840 v. 1.5?

Hi Maximus,
The first units just went out a few weeks ago, so I'm sure the feedback will start coming in soon. As for your ATB, I believe that has an 8" collection cup? If so, the stock 8"/200mm model will work.

Do you have them for the BK 300? My cup is 12". Or would it have to be custom made?

We cut the 12"/300mm lids this morning for a few other BK owners who were first on the custom list. This is technically still a custom size but will be listed along with all the new sizes by the end of next week.

Import model skimmers frequently use body or cup diameter as part of their model #'s. BK300=300mm, MSX250=250mm, H&S150=150mm, etc. If you are in doubt at all as to which size Swabbie to get, please do not hesitate to contact us so we can make sure you get the right size.

I ordered one for my Alpha Vertex 250 a few days ago. Can't wait to get it.

 

[Maximus]

Can you tell me if the blade interferes at all with the rising of the bubbles? It looks like you have a very nice product at a good price. Kudos to you!!

 

[Maximus]

I just measured the cup and it is exactly 7" in diameter.

Hey I am trying to figure out what I need for my Orca 250.

This is what I have measured so far:
Collection Cup Outer Diameter: 9 3/4
Skimmer Neck Inner Diameter: 5 3/4
Skimmer Neck Height (for wiper size): 7 1/8
Distance from Neck Top to Lid: 1 3/8 I think I did this right... :)

So what should I put my final numbers at?

I just measured the cup and it is exactly 7" in diameter.

7"/180mm size is completed and will start shipping at the end of next week. We will list all the new sizes on the site shortly so everyone can start placing their orders.

Not even a little bit of interference in the bubble column. Thank you!

You got it David, that looks like the 250mm/10" size. Please go ahead and submit your order and it will be shipping next Thursday :-)

 

[Hogall]

I have an older model of Euro-Reef CS12-5. Would a 12" size be good? BTW YGPM

Thx

 

[AVAST Marine Verified Sponsor]

Hey Dennis, looks like Justin got you the info on that 12-5. We are quickly developing quite a large database of skimmer specifications, let us know if you have any other questions.
