![]() Is anyone on here actually using them? Any good/bad experiences are appreciated. The pricetag is nice but I've found in this hobby you often get what you pay for, and I want to know if I'm better off saving my pennies and getting something more well known.

![]() No personal experience, I read some mixed reviews on reef central. The consensus seemed to be that the weak link was the pump. High wattages and not a reliable brand name. Otherwise people seemed pretty happy with them.

![]() Yeah, that wattage seems exraordinarily high for a skimmer, I wasn't sure if it was right.
I know this tank won't be getting a bubble king (just yet anyhow!) but maybe an ER is a safer bet? |

![]() lmao... I was looking at the first 2 pics thinking the skimmate didn't look very dark. And then it just got worse from there. I think the guy I share an office with is wondering why I'm sitting here laughing at my computer.

![]() Ok, those pics are better - the first ones looked like an accident!! Great foam yeah but I worry it would end up all over the floor?? The second pics have the nice dark (yummo!) skimmate that I like to see!

![]() Any skimmer of this design, properly setup, won't throw foam on your ceiling. If something goes wrong with it, or something is in the water (some conditioners), they can overflow. My ER does this if I let the venturi clog, but it happened once.
