![]() its is a external skimmer lance its sitting beside my sump. well from the hook up til now the skimmer has been doing really good.
Its quiet Easy to use Easy to set up easy to dial in a big chamber for contact time. you can leave the collection cup on and drain it thur the true union that comes with the skimmer. I'm really liking this skimmer the air valve is same as the euro reef air valve. easy and sucks a lot of air. The skimmer on the bottom of the collection cup the o ring is attach to the bottom of the collection cup and had a firm seal. THE BUBBLE KING MINI the bubble king rated for 265 gal I can't see it. with a small chamber and a short contact time doesn't give you alot of contact time. the Deltec AP851 is rated for 400 gal IME i really see that being true. tall unit 8" chamber bubble are supper small too IMO I will end up keeping this skimmer for a long time is just from what i have seen and how its pulling too. Already dump the cup once today and so I'm very happy with it too........ SKIMMER WHORE FINALLY DONE WITH TRIALING I FOUND MY SKIMMER.... ![]() Can you believe it

![]() Heya Mike,
Been awhile, hope all is well on your end of the world. Out of all the skimmers you've tried which would be your favourite. How much skimmate are you pulling out per day? After buying and trying out each skimmer, are you always left with the feeling that you should be pulling more skimmate? Thanks by the way for testing them out for everyone lol. You would be able to put together one hell of a skimmer review when its all said and done. |
