Comments on Euro-Reef RS protein skimmers?
Anyone have any comments on the Euro-Reef RS protein skimmers? I have a ASM G3 and want to upgrade. I am thinking of the Euro-Reef RS250. How do they perform? Is the collection cup easy to clean etc.
Thanks, Shane

i've got that skimmer on my tank and it seems fine for me. cup is easy to clean and access so long as your cabinet is accommodating. check to see if you're receiving the new impeller, it's black and if not request it. ER will replace but it's a bit of a hassle.

Are you using the RS250? Which model are you using and on what size of tank? Thanks, Shane

I actually love the G3. It works great. The collection cup is easy to remove and replace with just a fraction of a turn. It is so easy to use. You don't have to spend time "fine tuning it". I just think it is too small for my system and want to upgrade. My tank is heavily stocked and all the fish are growing and the G3 is no longer large enough.

I have the RS 135 and it's been good for me. I wish it came with more of that lube for the gasket that goes between the riser neck and the skimmer body, but that's minor.
I have a very light load. 5 fish under 3" each in a 120g system.
