![]() Well its been close to a month now so I'll give a quick update.
It is skimming really well. Considering I only have a few inverts in my tank it pulls around a cup a day. It drains nicely into a glass container I have put near the sump and I clean the collection cup once a week for the more solid stuff that sticks to the sides of the cup, pretty easy to pop off and put back on again. So far very happy with it. And for a price range of $200-$280 depending on model an impressive budget skimmer. |

![]() currently its 8.3, but its been as low as 7 ( was away and water lvl in sump dropped ) and as high as 9.8 ( when I shut off return to do stuff in tank ) and it just keeps doing its thing.
Specs say 7-9 is optimal. So I guess in theory its true-lol |

![]() Thought I would do an update
Had this a year and a half now and still happy with it. My bioload is much bigger now with a large atlantic blue tang and a 6 inch emperor and misc other fish and this still skims like a champ. Done a full strip down a few times to clean the pump etc other than 1 of the plastic screws snapping its been pretty easy to do. Still runs quietly and does a bang up job. |
