Pictures Andy pictures. I looked at getting an H & S skimmer as well and just wonder what you think of it so far.

I love this skimmer alot. Very simple to setup and adjust. Low power consumption. Soft skim with needle wheel technology. The H&S skimmer is very well built. Collection cup is removed with a twist. Here are a couple of shots of it in action.

Very nice. Is it possible to run this skimmer externally Andy or is it in sump only?

This is an insump model. The recirculating A-series skimmers can be run externally. I've been looking at the A200-2X1260 for my 280. Just need to sell some frags to help out with the expense. :-)

I have a question for those reefers experienced in having used multiple skimmers.

I have a OceanAquaitcs Skimmer, PM-Bullet 2 style (beckett)

I am thinking of getting the Deltec MCE600

Would you say this is a upgrade or a downgrade?

I have no experience with the OA skimmer. What kind of skimmate are you getting? How heavily stocked is your 50g?
