Skimmer Q&A Thread

i dont have one here to measure . As Jon in the Warner Marine Sponsor forum. But the base is 10.5 inches I believe.
 
Ok, the bubbleking is the gen1 for 900cad including tax or they also havea new gen2 for 1200 plus tax. Is the new one worth it?
 
My DIY sump . My new Warner Marine K-2 protein skimmer and the new MR-100 Media Reactor. I got the first on from Warner Marine. Hope you like the photos

great, its been breaking in nicely. last Sat. I found a little baby banggai in my sump. so I've been feeding him a lot, which kills the foam head.

Has anyone here run the WM RX200 externally? Any good?

The Warner Marine R-Series of Protein Skimmers
The R-Series Protein Skimmers are external, recirculating designed models designed for use outside of a sump, adjacent to the aquarium.
 
yes it is a great external skimmer. Uses the same pump as the other wm 200 series skimmers. Pullins in about 1000 lph of air and a good amount of water to boot. Nice unit. I have only ran one skimmer external. THe das ex1 like the deltec apf600. I am just not a fan of running them external if I dont have too. Great product though.

That was my other option to run externally (unfortunetly I have to) the Deltec APF600, which one is better the WM or the Deltec?
 
Hey Mojo~,

I'm going to be running a 100g SPS/Clam tank in the next few weeks, and I want a skimmer that will be a little oversized for it (since I'll be dosing bacteria). I was thinking the MSX-200. Do you think this skimmer will do the trick? Thanks for the advice! :D

I would go with the warner marine .for the $$ it will handle a much larger load. IT uses a larger pump and pulls3x more air and probably 2x more water.

The msx 200 is a nice choice. THe only downside to the msx / octo x is sometime the pump starts in the wrong direction. Not a huge issue if you dont turn it on and off everyday. But overall a good choice for that size system.
other choices would be the vertex in180 and the mrc ocean force 200 for around the same price range. for a little more the warner marine as 150 would be a good fit too. So I hope that this helps. good luck. Mojo~
