New Aquarium - SWC Clone Skimmer Questions
 

My wife and I just purchased a 93 Gal Cube (30"X30"X24"H):mrgreen:. Currently the tank does not have an overflow, but soon whill. I am just deciding the best method - leaning towards a centrally mounted cup style overflow with the bulkheads mounted high out the back.

Here is my question, Has anyone tried the SWC Clone 160 skimmer? The build appears to be good quality and some of the reviewes I have come across on the net seem positive. The price compared to others seems attractive.

Looking for you feedback

I liked the last setup you had...when did you get married

Sorry, had to ask...are we talking about an "SWC" cone skimmer or a clone (copy)?

Hi Wayne, I liked the last one too:cry:, Too bad I sold everything off, but that gives me an excuse to start fresh :mrgreen: I got married last June.

Oops typo... Cone, not Clone:redface: http://www.saltwaterconnection.com/i...51c466f9cdd010

Swc cone 160
 

Ive had mine for about 4 days, probably still breaking in, but absolutely love it. Already pulling a bunch of stuff out of the water.

Imo you can not go wrong with it, I also have it on a 90 currently.

I've got the swc 180..really good so far. Very happy with it.

I have a swc 160 cone and seriously love it, that thang is amazing, and the 160 cone comes with the atman pump instead of the sicce.
You will not regret this purchase if you get one!

i have used the Cone 160 aned its a amazing little skimmer for the price of 250 in that area. Its dead quiet, small footprint, easy to adjust and pulls like crazy its underrated I had it on my 150 with a 30 gal sump and wstill pulled like crazy. and that is with 30 fish in there.

How is the 180 for noise? I was wondering if it would be better to go for the 180 instead of the 160... or will it be too much for a 93gal?
