orca skimmers

They look really nice to me, especially for the price. I haven't seen any in action and have only seen the larger one on a couple of TOTM's but they look great so far. People have been playing with the Dart needlewheel idea for a while and that's the first commercial model I've seen utilizing it.
Here is a review written by Paul Whitby a couple of months back. Paul seems to me to be very knowledgable FWIW.

The one you are looking at and the ones that Chris is referring to are completely different...

Orca is a manufacturer of skimmers... They have recently begun working with Reeflo and are using their new Dart needlewheel for their recirculation pumps...

The one that you were looking at is an older model that I don't know as much about... I know they have good reviews... Thats why I told you to ask Allen... He'll give you an honest opinion if you need more than what that skimmer is capable of...
 
Yeah you are right Randy.......that's confusing!
At any rate the ones I've linked have a good rep so far:)

Only reason I know as much about the Orca Reeflos is because I was thinking about getting one... lol :D If I can convince Ashley to let me plumb a few of my tanks together... ;)
 
well, we worked out a deal. so it should be shipped out monday or tuesday. yay. i just hope he's a good packer and i don't have to fight with FedX again! i'm sure it will do much better than our little seaclone. :) thanks for the help guys.
 
I've bought some corals from Allen, and if thats any indication, you'll be fine... lol ;)

Seriously though, he has good feedback and just sold and shipped a BK180 which is a $1000 skimmer... You're in safe hands.... :D

Well, the rest lies with Fed Ex... :)
