Comments on Euro-Reef RS protein skimmers?
Anyone have any comments on the Euro-Reef RS protein skimmers? I have a ASM G3 and want to upgrade. I am thinking of the Euro-Reef RS250. How do they perform? Is the collection cup easy to clean etc.
Thanks, Shane

i've got that skimmer on my tank and it seems fine for me. cup is easy to clean and access so long as your cabinet is accommodating. check to see if you're receiving the new impeller, it's black and if not request it. ER will replace but it's a bit of a hassle.

Are you using the RS250? Which model are you using and on what size of tank? Thanks, Shane

I have 120g total volume and I think the RS250 is just right, not overkill. Mind you, I have 140lb liverocks and a tonne of corals. My previous RS135 wasn't keeping up, and I hardly feed my fish. I've had the skimmer running for a month now and I must say it's was a very benificial upgrade. Mine has the new black needlewheel and the Gen-x6000 pump. Noise level compared to the sedra 5000 is about double, it humms and vibrates quite loud, definately unbarable if you're in the same room. As well the sucking noise from the venturi hose is also noisy. This was expected with the increase of a more powerful pump, I don't have a problem with it as my sump is in a dedicated fish room. IMO, if your sump is not in an enclose cabinet or room, the noise will drive you crazy.
