on with the SHOW



Turbo flotor 1000 with the reef pack,


then it was the euro reef Cs 5-3

then it was a down draft skimmer 6 ft model
something like this


then it was a coral life Omg

then came the beckett FAD


then came along the another EURO REEF CS 8-3

then i took the Euro reef and converted it to a RC 250


then off to a ATI BUBBLE MASTER 250

after that i went to a mini Bk 200


then my 6 foot beckett dual injectors

THEN TO A VERTEX 170

then the DELTEC AP 851

THen to a SUPER MARINE 250 why did I sell it.

the Dual Beckett again OMG Im on glue


then the Deltec AP 702

thanks for taking the time to look at my mental craze and hoping to have something else this year EHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHHE

Mikes the skimmer King hands down!

So Mike - what were the pros and cons to the last few high end skimmers you had?

Do you believe price and performance go hand in hand or is some of it just more show than go? Is there a point of diminishing returns with some of these higher end models vs. something similar but cheaper?


thanks!

Vince

Hey, that dual Beckett looks similar to mine, which I inherited with my SW tank and house that we bought. What is yours called? Never been able to figure out the brand name of mine. Here is a pic. I am only running one Beckett on mine right now (other tube closed off), as my pump is not powerful enough for both. But it can skim a couple cups a day wet right now, depending on how I have it dialed.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Yeah, I had sent them a pic of mine, last year, but they said it wasn't theirs... It seems to be the closest that I have found so far. Mine is not recirculating, but does have a pretty high main chamber, about 32 inches altogether.

I only have a 100g tank running on it now, so more than enough skim power for now.

Haha, i think it's safe to say you have a skimmer addiction. you might want to try crack, it'd probably be cheaper :S.

I have the ATI BM250 right now, how would you compare it to others you ran at that time? I feel that mines doing a decent job, just haven't had anything to compare it to. Not sure if I'd be better off trading it up.

the BM 250 I loved that skimmer tHat got me going on that skimmer addiction. the only thing that i hated about the BM as the sicci pumps i even bought 2 new ones and they gave me grieve so i sold it. I would like to get one and put 2 Bubble blaster 5000's on there and fire it up. i liked the wide neck too for a more wetter skim mate too.

what makes the ATB any gold is the pump I believe its the Askoll pump on there right. other then that the plastic is no beter then any othe skimmer or the parts. take the BM 220 cone cheap made and yet they have it with the ehiem pump, however that is what that skimmer has going for it. Is the Ehiem.
