New Skimmer: Trying to decide.

[juancho24]

Can anyone tell me your experience with these. I really prefer if you have owned it for more than 1 year. Sump has a small footprint of 9.5" x 8". Thanks in advance.

Owned the swc 160 cone and it is a great skimmer. If I were looking for a skimmer in that price range I would look at the new octopus space saving skimmers. They look similar to the bubble king minis. So gar they seem.to have good reviews

 

[juancho24]

Are you referring to this one Reef Octopus NWB-SSS-150? Anyone else own any of these?

For those price points, you may want to consider the Aquamaxx ConeS CO-1 and EM200 skimmers, if you can find them in stock.

I just went through the same thing and ended up getting the bubble magus curve 5. So far, very impressed. Pulls out a lot of gunk and is very silent. I had some issues with the pump but I took it apart and put it back together and it is working great now.

My ConeS CO-1 got delivered earlier this week,so far I'm highly impressed. I had the same reasonings as above. I got it for $10 more than the Reef Octopus

I use a CadLights that is equivalent to the curve5. But a better construction. In use for 8 months, never needs tweeking, never overflowed. 10/10

Thanks for the feedback guys. Never heard of Cadlights will have to look them up.
