Review of DAS EX-2 skimmer

[Hoosier Reefer]

It took about 2 weeks to break in to my liking even though I did the vinegar soak first. For the last few days, it has been pulling out the absolute nastiest skimate I have ever seen. It's dead nuts quiet, simple to adjust, seems well constructed, and easy to empty & clean. I purchased it from Petorama. The shipping container was sorta generic.. just a big box full of packing peanuts and skimmer parts. No documentation or manual, but these things all operate pretty much the same.... I'd put it up against ANY skimmer costing 2-3 times as much !!!!

Performance = A+
Petorama = C-

Wel i hear ya on the petorama. I would rate them an even D. Just enough to get by.
Das is a good skimer cant argue with you there.

It will vary, It could be from a couple days to 2 weeks. Both times i ordered from them it took till i sent a email what the hell was holding them up. Expect 3 tp 4 weeks from when you order IMO that way you won't be expecting it. If it comes early then you'll be happy.
They are good skimmers they really need to get better on the online side. DAS is better to deal with, But you won't be able to buy direct.
