A weeks worth of skimming with the new Bubble Magus Curve 9 !







It took my last skimmer almost a year to really get broken in. The new Curve 9 seems to be doing just fine after just a couple of weeks of use. Thumbs up ! Still a ways to go before long term viability can be assessed. I'm still expecting the needle wheel to crap out at any moment

Eww, that's gross. I just ate my dinner.

Stock up now on a couple extra needle wheels so this beast will last for forever, and ever, and ever!

Ya, I was thinking just that! Get the bad boys now while they are plentiful and cheap 'cuz in a year form now they will likely triple in cost!

how is the noise and vibration of the skimmer. I hear it is louder then the curve 7. what's your thoughts?

Seems pretty quiet to me. I don't notice it at all. My last skimmer with the eheim pump I think was noiser! Maybe the curve 9 needs to be broken in a bit more then the noise will kick in ? My stand is skinned with some pretty thick Ikea cabinet doors though, so maybe that helps to muffle it? At any rate, compared the the last two skimmers that I had (Bubble Magus 220CS and Hydor), this one is a lot quieter. I have no other frame of reference to compare to.

Do you get a bad smell from all the air holes in the top. I found my 7 is bad for that. Needs a carbon filter on or in it.
