I own a ER CR 6-3 and a ER 5-3 and when I purchase a new skimmer it will be a Euro-Reef. I agree that my 6 year old ER 5-3's pump makes a small noise, but it works perfect. When I want to upgrade that skimmer that is on my 33g reef I will buy a eheim pump as nothing else is needed. They are super easy to clean and setup and since I don't have much height in my sump area it is nice not to need space above the cup to take out and clean.

I have a ER RS250 on my heavily stocked 210g mixed reef & it does a great job. Fills up my collection cup with super thick foam and smelly sludge (1/4 of the cup in one day). Couldn't be happier.

Have an ASM G4+ on my 120g fowlr with 90g seahorse/frag/sump tank and it does a decent job.

i just bought 2 rs250's and im impressed with quality but a little annoyed with the air valve plugging almost all the time, i havnt really tryed to do anything about the problem except clean the stupid things out all the time

I have a Euroreef RS-180. Although this is the first high end skimmer I have owned I am very happy with it. Some people describe these skimmers as plug and play however I do not agree with this observation as it took me a couple of weeks to get mine working properly. Also I find you need to clean the air valve at least once a week or it gets plugged up with salt and causes the skimmer to go crazy.

On my rs 100, I took out my air valve and it skims like a champ.

I have nothing but rave reviews for the insump Euroreef skimmers. The external becomes less plug and play.

I called euroreef for help with my skimmer when I first got it. They gave a lot of info but had a bit of an attitude as if it was a nuissance for me to call. The pump was the noisiest piece of equipment I owned besides the 120cfm 50db AC fan I was using for the lights but I got used to it eventually.

I liked it's consistency in pulling skimmate and the fact that it didn't care much if my hands were in the water compared to my venturi style skimmer I have now.

thanks everyone.

How do you know if the skimmer is in sump or external.
Is the product code different?
