If you got great advice on skimmers/positive results from Skimmer King, please post
 

Hey all Im starting this thread to get a feel on, who I have helped on here WRT SKIMMERS, I was chatting with the misses about the hobby and we talked about the the money i have spent on Skimmer's that is another story lol :lol: and who I have helped.
And on how many people actually let me call them to give advice or on how to get a skimmer going.. or to tweak it


please if you don't mind posts your results

Mike helped me dial in my SWC150BK - called me long distance on his own dime and spent a good fifteen minutes with me helping me dial it in for peak performance. Great guy, great advice and always looking to help others!

:)

Mike even called me one day... We talked for quite some time, more about everything. It was a pleasure!!!

Skimmers
 

When I was trying to decide which skimmer to buy for my tank, The Skimmer Kings advice factored in on my decision and helped me choose the SWC160 Cone.

Thanks for all your helped, Mike ! You really are the King of Skimmers :biggrin:
I like my skimmer very much, it is worth every pennies I had spent.

I am all about DIY (gets me going when I actually build to see the end results)
That said through few back and forth with Mike helping me on different dimensions for few types of skimmers and the end results is a large skimmer with I believe 16" diameter outer clear casing with 10" reaction chamber 36" tall with couple ball valves release and a 10000 bubble blaster:biggrin: running smooth now for 6 mths on my entire system of roughly just under 600glns.Thanks but didn't you ever call me I feel left out:biggrin:

Way back when, Mike gave me a call to chat about Beckett skimmers. Very interesting conversation: from skimmers, to West Coast weather, to tree huggers, all about army life, to family, fish tanks and then back to skimmers. LOL

Can't go wrong with Skimmer King's advice

So what's with the thread Mike? Someone question your skimmer knowledge?

Mikey does know how to get the poo out ...........of SW that is.

This big goon Mike was the first person to reach out and lend a helping hand when I was having a tank crisis.
My tank went completely downhill after a move from the ex boyfriends house to my house (ex boyfriend neglected the tank, when we moved it it stirred up all kinds of crap in the sand bed - it was a bad time!)

Anyways I went from being ready to quit, having a tank that I couldn't even see my fish through, to having Mike knock some sense into me and my tank is now BETTER THAN EVER!

Mike helped me over the phone both via text and facetime. He gave me advice and asked me for daily updates on the tank and how it was doing.
Mike advised me to "black out" the tank for a week, we put towels and blankets all around the tank and let in ZERO light for a week. He also told me to get filter floss. By the end of the week, my tank was literally CRYSTAL clear - I had never seen it this clear before, and the filter floss that I was pulling out of the tank was absolutely disgustingly green and full of algae.

Mike has provided me with a lot of insight and help since then, and shortly following my disgusting green tank I had an ICH outbreak which Mike also held my hand through.

Thank you Mike, I would probably have quit by now if it weren't for you! I finally have a grasp on my tank, routine maintenance and I love it more than ever. It's so rewarding and I really feel like I know what I'm doing now to keep it at the state its in. All thanks to you!
