Looking for a skimmer

[bored4long]

I'll be picking up my 120 in the next week or so and need to start ordering the last few items on my want list.

Unless someone can offer me a good needlewheel skimmer (recirc or not) for under $200, I'm going to buy the Octopus NW200. Its hard to beat for $180 and seems to do pretty well with a few mods.

Please let me know if you have a comparable, or better skimmer, for sale. I'm also looking for Enkamat. If you have some to spare I'll buy it from you.

BTW, I have a flow meter (Dwyer RMB-53) and a Kill-a-watt on order if anyone is interested in using them.

Thanks for the help.

This one is more than $200 but I have heard VERY good things about it.

What made you decide on the DAS?

I have one that is rated for a heavily stocked 150g... Though it is on the pricey end, more than $200... worth every penny though.

I like the DAS. My father in law has the EX3 on his 210 and it is awesome and i wanted recirc.

going through Orca. This skimmer here is a DAS EX1

That's a tempting skimmer, Davey. If ORCA didn't have a 6 week waiting list, I'd seriously consider getting my skimmer there.

Mark,

It is a great right out of the box skimmer, no mods!

Which? The EX-1 or the ORCA you linked to above?

 

[kdblove_99]

DAS EX 1

Orca skimmer above is the DAS EX1 that is not one that Orca makes. They can replicate it, but not that cheap

That is actually a DAS that they carry, Well there out of stock right now, that is what i am waiting on, them to get it on stock other wise i gotta go through petorama which i dont wanna do.

 

[bored4long]

davey, why do you want to buy it from ORCA and not Pet'O'Rama? Its $50 more at ORCA.

 

[kdblove_99]

DId i miss something?

I see $259 at Orca and $259 at Petorama.

The petorama link was for the DAS ex-2
