Anyone on here have a Vertex Omega 150 Protein Skimmer ?

Awesome thank you.

Bought the same unit from JL Aquatics. It sounds great but have not had a chance to get it out of the box and get it up and running.

Do yourself a favour and crack that box open and get it running!!!!! You won't regret it. Amazing skimmer at an unbelievable price.

Should have mine in about a week! Def excited to try one of these out. Amazing value if they turn out to be solid pumps.

going to set mine up in my sump tonight. Looking forward to it's magic. Also adding a color module to the illumina 260. UV, red, and green all in one pad! Christmas is finally here for my reef!

You guys should love the new skimmers! Has run solid for me so far and love the performance.....don't love the frequent cleanings that are required but really who really enjoys cleaning the skimmer?!?

Chef, good luck with the new multi colour aux pads. I have 3 red and 2 UV pads in mine and love them. Have been looking at the multi colour pads but haven't committed yet. Let me know at you think of them. And also if each of the colours are controllable individually.

All channels on the multi pad can be tuned individually.

Edit: oh yah, skimmer is awesome <3

^what Albert said. Got the light shining down on my reef and it is definitely the missing link that was needed.
Skimmer is louder (still new) than the swc160 I upgraded from. I am hoping this will change.

Are you sure the skimmer is sitting on all the rubber feet and not touching the side of your sump? Mine makes almost zero noise. The bubbles and foam seem to make most of the noise for me. And my entire system is dead quiet.

Also helps if you adjust the intake nozzle to tune out some of the noise (water height dependent).
