Vertex Alpha Cone Skimmer

I got 250 model just couple of days ago and it already works hard. Virtually no setup was required and dialling was a breeze. I'm really blown away by how quite this monster is. Very happy with the purchase.

I've got the 250. Awesome skimmer. After playing around and reading on the net it runs the best in 10" of water. I overfeed and it pulls out about 3-4 cups of the most putrid smelling crap every two days. It actually stinks up my basement if I leave it longer than that. My wife thinks it's the cats litter box but I don't say anything. No need for a break in for me. I noticed that Blue World Aquariums in Victoria was running them on all of there store tanks. Worth the money.

When I empty my skimmer, the wife and son start dry heaving and run out of the house...I guess that mean's the things working right?

Thanks for the info guys, I'm sold on the Alpha...
