NEW SWC Extreme 160 Cone review

[Doug]

Very pleased with my 160, so far. Skimming very well. Currently in 8in. of water but will be a bit less when in my new SWC sump. Very quiet.

Some pics here in my thread,

Figured may as well add these pics from my tank thread. I have owned many skimmers but this is one of the best I have had.

About a good month in now and working like a champ. Since my coral mishap I have been skimming pretty wet and empty about 3/4 cup of good skimmate every few days.

We are starting a promotion on this very skimmer today! Free bag of 550 Extra NpX beads with every purchase!

Glad to see the positive reviews!

Aww. Guess I will have to call someone for mine.

I have run different water depths now. Had a good 9in. in my 20g sump as compared with 8in. with my SWC sump. Unlike some of the RC thread, I found no difference. Easy to adjust in either situation to run both wet or dry.


This is wet skimming. I either dumped it at lunchtime yesterday or the day before. Not something one remembers closely.

We are the western Canada retailer for SWC.... They are a 2-3 day shipping turn around.
