			 Can anyone explain the large cost difference between these two skimmers that seem to be fairly comparable?  Anyone have any comparison reviews?  It sounds like the Skimz pump is a better pump, but $225 difference...?  Hmmm... 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	This skimmer would be replacing the EuroReef RS-180 that is currently employed on my ~100 gallon reef. The ER performs well, but is very noisy and likes to overflow. Skimz Kone SK181 Skimmer pump: 1 Skimz ES2000 needlewheel Power consumption: 12W Air intake: 540 l/h Rated: 50-200 gallons Price: $500 (I think??) SWC 160 Cone Skimmer pump: Atman 2500 Power consumption: 27W Air intake: 650 l/h Rated: 100-150 gallons Price: $275 I would prefer the SWC 180 Cone, but it has a Sicce pump on it which I refuse to buy. Anyone know of a replacement pump for the SWC 180 Cone?  |
