Default CoralBox DC700 Skimmer

Got it today, thought I'd give a few general impressions and I'll update as it ages.

These are the specs

Suitable for SPS corals or well stocked 120 to 185 gallon aquariums
Jebao DC3000 Pump
Watts: 12.5W to 16.5W
Air intake capacity: 900l/hour
Pump Capacitly: 485 to 790 gallons per hour
Ideal water level 7-9"
Measures: 10.25" x 10.25" x 20.8"H


It came really well packaged. The body is a solid cast Acrylic and for the price its a pretty solid and well put together Skimmer. Was easy to assemble and everything aligned perfectly. The collection cup is huge, probably holds up to 2 liters would be my guess, also has a drain hose.
The jebao is variable speed so you can adjust the flow through the skimmer and it has a feed function and soft start function.


Started it up and it runs whisper quiet, my bigger Jebao return pump makes more noise, but thats not much as its a pretty quiet pump as it is.
Its incredibly easy to fine tune.
Produces a ton of bubbles and in just 2 hours its starting to pull a yellowy/green skimmate-which is saying something as all I have in my tank is a clean up crew at this point.


So far I'm pretty happy with it.
