Need Opinions on HOB Skimmers
I need a new HOB skimmer. Eventually it will be on a 120g with shrooms, zoas and clams.
I've been looking at the Deltec MCE600, is this skimmer any good? are there any better ones out there? At the moment I have a C&C HOB skimmer....there is a good reason these guys aren't in business any more, this thing has gnawed on my last nerve My requirements for a skimmer are simple....plug and play, no dumping gallons of water on the floor, easy to clean and it should produce reasonable amounts of skimmate |

OH MY GOODNESS Marie...I just got a used MCE600 and LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! It is quiet, skims like crazy and am just WOW'd. Maybe there is better one out there but I am thrilled with this one.....and I've read EVERY review out there on it! TOTALLY plug and play and forget..you just have to check the skimmate control here and there...it's AWESOME!

the only other one that i would look that would be the ATB multi cone skimmer used in HOB configuration. But I love my MCE600 and MCE300 both great skimmers, cant go wrong with a deltec or ATB, ive tested my MCE600 with a drwyer flow meter, and it pulls 400-480 LPH of air (new 1 piece pin wheel)
