lmao... I was looking at the first 2 pics thinking the skimmate didn't look very dark. And then it just got worse from there. I think the guy I share an office with is wondering why I'm sitting here laughing at my computer.

Sigh... Those images are from this tank:



I think there's all of two snails and a goby in there.

Anyway, here's a few more:

Ok, those pics are better - the first ones looked like an accident!! Great foam yeah but I worry it would end up all over the floor?? The second pics have the nice dark (yummo!) skimmate that I like to see!

Any skimmer of this design, properly setup, won't throw foam on your ceiling. If something goes wrong with it, or something is in the water (some conditioners), they can overflow. My ER does this if I let the venturi clog, but it happened once.

no bubbleking or hydor but I'd say it's better than a euroreef, considering it's made in the same plant and has the same pump (the resun is a rebrand of the gen-x).

I've had extensive experience with one and it's well worth the money I believe. Sure it's made in china but $320 for a 250 gallon skimmer? It's on a 286g fish only tank skimming pretty damned good.

Good value.

Hmm!

How easy is it to take off the skimmer cup for cleaning?

The only thing that is of concern is that the pump for the 250 gallon model uses 140 watts as compared to the Euroreef RS250 which is drawing 60 watts.

Anyone have a Vertex 250 and a watt meter?

Cheers,
Vic
