The point is everything can be debated. You mentioned radions and par...there are plenty of people on this forum and others have beautiful SPS dominanted tanks that are thriving under cheap black boxes. As for as the nyos skimmers... they arent cheap, however i have never had to fiddle with it to produce outstanding results. It works and it is easy....and quiet.That is worth the cost of admission and i have zero regrets.
I gotcha I’m probably overdoing it with what I’m running I have 150gallon tank right now but I’m planning on upgrading to a 300 gallon this spring summer and I want to have everything that I need in place before I do it. But at the same time even if I don’t upgrade I’d still like to have better filtration I don’t over feed but I have a couple fish that I feed meats too and is rather have more than what I need instead of just enough.
I completely agree and understand what your saying, it’s all on personal opinion and it’s pretty much like anything else in life it’s all good until it breaks or there’s a problem. I’m sure there’s always a few bad eggs in the batch and someone’s always going to end up with one at some point. I read a lot of bad reviews on the AI hydra 26 HD’s I bought four of them and it was the best decision I’ve ever made noticed a huge growth in my corals from when I had kessil lights over my tank, and I’m sure there’s someone that would disagree with me on that lol. I thank you and I appreciate your input on the question at hand here. Like I previously said the only thing that would stop me from buying one is if the trident becomes available here at some point within the next week.
How do you hook a scrubber up to the skimmer I’ve always wondered about this I’m also looking at the Nyos reactor
I was just looking at that same one lol so did that scrubber come with that mounting bracket then as well?
Very nice skimmer setupI've been using a Nyos Quantum 160 for almost 2 years now on my Reefer XL 425 and have had no problems. It's quiet, runs well, and is easy to adjust. I have modified mine with an Avast Marine Swabbie neck cleaner, and the Avast skimmate locker so I don't need to empty the skimmer cup. All three components (skimmer, swabbie, and locker) all integrate with my Apex so the neck cleaner runs every 6 hours, and when the locker is full it turns off the skimmer and sends me an alert so I know to empty the locker (which lasts about 2 weeks). No complaints.
Awesome thank you very much, I’m guessing it’s helped raise the ph and keep it more stable as well
That’s for sure on it’s way to being ordered I think I may mount it outside the cabinet though so it’s easier to change the filter
Oh ok I didn’t realize it just locked on to that mounting plate I kinda messed up my cabinet when I put the sump in I have a marine land 150gal and the stand isn’t the most convenient the when you open either door the sump is right in front of both doors makes things a pain in the but to work on, but it was my first tank that I set up and did all the plumbing on, live and you learn. Lol
