I just set up the 160 on a 58 gallon with 30 gallon sump. The small footprint makes life easy.

Hello

Looks like a decent skimmer. Where can you get one for 275? Have you ever had problems with the pump not starting after having it turned off? Read a few reviews online and like everything there are good and bad ones for it out there.

Regards

Well

I am still really considering getting the Skimz SM161 Protein Skimmer. Is there anyone out there who has any hands on with one of these units. I would like to hear some first hand Reefer experiences. Still would like to know where to get a SWC 160 for 275.
Regards

Have to agree with all the points above, return pump made 10 times more noise ..

PM apexifd, I think he still has the Skimz skimmer you are looking for.

Have had one for a year. Where I live, we get power outages at least once a month. Mine restarted every time .
