Who is running/has run a Bubble Magus E3 skimmer?

[HappyOne]

Have you been pleased with the performance?

How well does it do with keeping the bubbles out of the DT?

Is it fairly quiet?

Any weird quirks with it?

I have 29G mixed reef that I am running an AquaC Remora on. The skimmer works well but is much louder than the newer needle wheel skimmers and it has a tendancy to put micro bubbles back in the tank if I look at it the wrong way. I am thinking of updating it to improve both of these issues as well as to get that ugly pump out of the DT.

Thanks.

I have been trying to remember the name “AquaC Remora.” I don’t miss mind, I threw it away because I could not bare to sell it to anyone after I had found out how much I did not like it. It worked, but I think an upgrade will make you much happier. I know I was after I did.

Wow, that brings back memories. That is the skimmer I had on my last tank back in 2003. It was all the rage back then for a HOB solution.

I'm just now returning to the hobby after a couple of decades off...
