The furnace is under the tank I think... :eek:

Mitch keeps a high bioload with this baby. :cool: :mrgreen:

However, I am quite enamoured with my Euroreefs for perfomance and ease of use. :biggrin:

Which model do you have and what size tank is it skimming. How is the venturi? Does it get clogged like most other venturi after time?

I have the CS8-1 (holding it's own on the new 230g) and the CS6-3 on a 108 FOWLR.

There is no venturi. You are welcome to view them. :smile:

I am using a Euoreef 6-2+. It is on a 75 with a 30 gal sump. I am extremley happy with it. Took me about 1 week to get it set the way I want and it produces nice black skimate. Easy to clean and set up. By going with anything larger than the 6-2 you get the larger pump. 500 lph vice 3500 lph

Cheers,

Where did y'all buy your Euro-reef?
Where is the cheapest source, Canada or across the border?

They never had them in Canada when I bought mine so it was pretty pricey... :eek:

I bought mine from J&L. I paid 450 during the boxing day sale. YOu can try to get a blemished model from h2otropicals.com, but it is pretty hard to get one from them now.

CHeers,

Al

I use a lifereef skimmer from lifereef.com Its works awesome.

I think 2 of the most popular are Aqua C and Euroreef - lots of debate on other forums, but from the tons of posts I have read, I think Euroreef has the least people unhappy with them. I ended up with an AquaC 180 - I have had quite a bit of trouble tuning it - which is not what you hear from Euroreef owners. But, the AquaC are apparently pretty efficient once you get them running correctly.

There are two product lines for Euroreef - a cheaper one (E line) and more expensive line (C line) - different quality acrylic - but apparently same function. Only drawbacks are - in sump operation only (not out of sump) and no overflow connection for skimmate - but the cup is very large.

I would probably have bought a Euroreef, but my sump is long and narrow and it wouldn't fit.

There are also some very interesting German skimmers - hard to get and pricey. Other ones to look at are MyReefCreations and Precision Marine.

Thanks for all the inputs and suggestions by everyone. From what I've gathered, I think Euro-reef best fiits my set-up.
Just one more question though, which model will sufficiently support my reef. It's like this:
100g reef
30g sump
150lb Fiji
75lb Aragonite
NO corals yet, but hopefully a tank full of SPS/Soft
8-10 fish(medium sized)
350W of lighting

I want a perfectly clean system, yet don't want to over-skimming either. In your personal experience, which model can you recommend for my set-up? I appreciate any comments.
