I've owned three. A seaclone, which doesn't need explanation. And an MRC MR2 and an MRC Orca Pro II with washdown. The MR2 was a beckett and needed constant cleaning. The Orca is damn near on autopilot.
Yikes. I think I passed out for a few minutes when I priced out that MRC Orca.

They aren't giving it away, for sure. But, I'm in this for the long haul and it fit the bill. I think the pricing is inline with Bubble Kings.

It was the washdown that pushed me over the edge. Otherwise I would have gotten a BK.

I have owned about 7 skimmers and the only plug and play that comes to mind is the RLSS R6i
I've had 6 skimmers and the two I'm running currently have been pretty much plug and play. Interesting enough they are both Reef Octopus skimmers, a 110 classic that has been running for 2 years and also a 150 Prime INT thats only been in service for a month but so far has been very easy to dial in and has stayed consistent.

^ I did very minimal tinkering with my first skimmer, an old Octopus. I just don't see as many good reviews now with the newer models was there were back 10 years ago. IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!! I wish skimmer companies would stop trying to produce the latest and greatest and just keep selling what already works well with minor tweaks here and there.
I hear ya!. As a matter of fact the 150 Prime INT I just bought is actually a discontinued model, I have no idea why as it has so far been an excellent performer and I see no reason for a need to replace it with a so called "better" model.
