I'd run my Deltec AP701 nose to nose with this vertex one anyday...lol


And thanks for reminding me to check my collection cup when I get home.

Bring it on!

Honestly the Deltec skimmers are very, very good.

I run the Hydor 1000 Recirc, and would also put it up against all the others.

I can say it works great, even better since I modded the intake pump to also be a venturi... This mod tripled or more the skimmate production and darkness of it, very blackish and stinky. All hydor owners, this is a worthwhile mod.

That's some nice dark skimate, I'll throw my BM250 into the fray. They did have a bit of bad rap though because of the start-up issues, but with some tweaking it runs like a champ.
