EuroReef has seriously dropped the ball as a company. I'd look elsewhere

the thing i like about them is all the great reviews they're getting, and you seldom hear about typical cheap skimmer problems like how sensitive they are to water level and clogging needle-wheel, etc. then again the next best thing would be the smallest BK, overkill for my tank no doubt, so anyone gonna chime in for the RC's?

Albert is my lord and saviour. I take his word as gospel.

As far at the euroreef goes, I like mine despite what the compnay may be doing on a distribution basis, they make a good skimmer for the price you pay.

mine will suit me just fine until I decide to upgrade to a BK.

Personally, I think everyone looking to get a skimmer should just wait til Interzoo is over. Lots of SWEET stuff coming out of Europe this quarter.

Great skimmer and great support to consumers.

For some its a business, for others they work in the industry. Does there move maximize the profit potential for retailers, no. But,

OA will continue to carry this skimmer until something at the price point with equal or better quality is available.

From my discussions with Euro-reef you can also expect to see more models in the future.

All the best.

love my rs80 on my reef. used it on a tank just a little bigger than you got, and it pulled out tons of skimmate. great product...in my opinion over skimming can be bad as well when you have filter feeding invertebrates..

They've made a bit of a business change by now selling retail direct from the manufacturer. It's made wholesalers drop the product meaning most retail stores will not be carrying them anymore (such as J&L).

Not exactly a smart move in my opinion, manufacturers shouldn't sell retail but what are you going to do. I don't think the company will be going anywhere just may be harder to find retailers in Canada.
