As I said epic thread ;) And what a surprise a good topic that could have been a very good debate has been ripped apart by personal hits. I think we have had this same rather boring and repetitive discussion before have we not going back a few years?

Nobody has bashed anyone it is called "friendly debate" if you personally wish to take it any other way, thats your own personal issue, and at no point has any false or exagerated claims been made, no where in this thread, thats your own words nobody elses. I wish to goodness threads on Canreef do not always get pulled down like this, it always seems to be skimmers too.

Yep threads get deleted when some posters decides to start a pointless argument from a fair debate.

Hardcore reefer? My own tank build.

I was in this hobby as a hobbyist since 1981.

If you wish to debate me personally here is my email address sales@aqua-digital.com

Its thank giving weekend I am off to jump in the pool with family and friends, far more fun :)

Have a great one everybody, see you the other side.

As far as I'm concerned, the pictures in the first post tell all that really needs to be told. It's always a debate when comparing similar products, but all that really matters is that they work. Clearly they do.

Personally, I'm a Bubble King guy. We sell them too.

AS I personally have never put my grubby fingers on either I am not going to make such statements but happy to pass on users own comments either said to me in person or mentioned on forums. The old saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" I think puts that in percepective. I really dont want to make a HUGE thread out of that, but in true Canreef epic thread style I will grab my popcorn now :popcorn:

FYI the Skimz Leopard is Askoll driven ;) And in regards to competing, again thats being personally subjective defending what you feel is best for you, ( we all have that right, its called free speach) however it does not in any way make or prove the product to be better, and is no different than my own personal thoughts the Skimz offers more - again down to the users/buyers own personal assessment of the product.

To close - until we get a very independant review on ALL skimmers these sorts of threads will always boost the popcorn industry for sure. There is such a massive amount of skimmers to choose from now it is hard sometimes even to tell them apart, so what we see people looking for are the finer qualities in build, pump type, reasonable price and above all service and support, someone on hand 7 days a week to answer any question swiftly, and if something goes wrong you know through experience you will have no issue getting it resolved.

And to put the cat amongst the pigeons I do also think the days of the $1,000 skimmer for a 200 gallon tank are long gone.

Epic thread alert, thats given you all something to tear apart, but I am off to stuff a well fed bird - Happy Thanksgiving everyone ;)

:agrue:
