FS: AquaMaxx ConeS Q-3 In-Sump Protein Skimmer BRAND NEW

How is the skimmer working for you? I just bought a JNS Q-3, waiting on shipping.

its great, even better when I added the float switch on the lid to my Apex. I can turn off the skimmer for cleaning by moving the float.
I clean out the skimmer every 2 days, its gets about 1/3 full

Do you think this skimmer would be too big on a 120 gallon with 40 gallon sump? I feed heavy and dose carbon.

1/3 full every 2 days is great. Is your tank 150 gallons? If it is I think the q-3 would be fine on a 120 gallon. I only want to change the cup once a week.

it will also depend on hoe many fish/livestock in your tank. I have a few fish :spin2:, 4 tangs, 3 chromis, 2 antias, 2 blennys, 2 clowns, 2 shrimps and cuc
 
I think I'll be alright, my fish load is about the same as yours minus a tang. Thanks for the info! I was starting to regret my purchase. Awaiting shipment has never been so nerve wracking.
 
... and 1 menarus , 2 leopard wrasse , diamond goby.

It didnt take long to break in either, 1 week

it also depends if you do wet skimming or dry skimming. Not the ways to tell if your water is too dirty or not by skimmed on the skimmer.
