[scubajim]

Sweet. Are you plannin on doin this thing soon bodi? Or are you waitin for the next shipment too?

 

[BodiBuilt]

Well, if there are no objections... I would like to wait for the next round as I am still looking for the perfect O.s. : )

 

[scubajim]

fine with me. I just didn't want you to be waitin on me.

 

[kdblove_99]

Yeah, If that darn Phillipine order would ever come in i think we would be set

 

[BodiBuilt]

Exactly!
Must..Have..Peacock's... (lol)...

I could really use the sand Davey! Can I get it this weekend?

 

[kdblove_99]

yep its yours

 

[kdblove_99]

Paul,

I will be at the DIY ATO tomorrow i can send it home with someone or you could meet me there

 

[bored4long]

Hey, Paul, if you stop by the ATO class for the sand, please bring my pump...

 

[kdblove_99]

back on track.

WHat if any skimemr do you guys plan on using? This has been the toughest decision so far.


There are a few but some get bad raps so i am not sure about the. SOme i was checking out are.
these are all HOB skimmers
Finnex
Coralife 65
Octopus
Odyssea PS75 would mesh mod pump
bacpak never owned only heard bad things
Remora i have owned it was Garbage
Seaclone owned= garbage
Tunze 9002 the price is killing me $150 for this little thing
Deltec= just too much $$$$

Would actual like to hook it on my sump instead of the tank so its not an eyesore.

I think the Tunze would fit the best and would be the only skimmer small enough to actully fit in my sump. but $150 cant do.

 

[jtarmitage]

Check the selling forum. You can usually find a Tunze 9002 for around $100.

 

[kdblove_99]

I never see any for sale. been checking for a couple weeks now


you have owned HOB skimmers whats you take?

 

[jtarmitage]

Depends on the size of the tank. Here's a list, in order of performance:
Deltec MCE 600 - Hands down winner, no question
Deltec MCE 300 - OK, but is no where near as good as the 600.
Tunze 9002
Remora
CPR Backpack - with MJ 1200
Sapphire

Those are the ones that I have personal experience with. The Bermuda Rogue looks very promising, and is cheaper than the Deltec MCE 600. HTH.

 

[kdblove_99]

Yeah i thought deltec would top the list a Tunze 9002 would be perfect.

I hated my remora

 

[kdblove_99]

Forgot to mention jeremy it will be going on a 28 gallon tank with 5.5 gallon sump. altogether maybe 33 gallons of total water.

I think the MCE600 would be some serious overkill
