Mojo (or anyone else)
I purchased a NAC7 about a year ago. A month ago I had to replace the mesh wehll because it cracked. I just replaced the second. I have one more spare so I am looking for more. Can't seem to find any. So fir question anyone know who has these?
I did come across a pinwheel impeller. Would this be an upgrade?
Thanks
Mojo do you think I can go with this skimmer on an Elos Midi 36 gal tank plus Elos 400 sump?
Nyos Zen Compact Cone Protein Skimmers
The New Nyos Zen Compact Cone Protein Skimmer is the result of successful development in integrating cylindrical and cone shape chambers in our quest to produce the most effective skimmers. This successful design minimizes sharp edges within the skimmer body, thereby minimizing pre-mature bubble bursting and surface agitation.
Together with the use of the bubble plate design to reduce turbulence within the skimmer chamber, maximum air flow capacity can be achieved in our compact skimmer. This results in the reduced height of the skimmer; allowing the Nyos Zen Compact Cone to easily fit into most installations.
All Nyos Zen Compact Cone protein skimmers are fitted with the new Nyos ES Pumps. NyosES Pumps are jointly developed with Italian pump manufacturer, using the most advanced material for the needlewheel impeller, "œseamless-coated rare earth magnet" for unsurpassed durability and performance. The NyosES Pumps are available in 3 models: ES2000, ES2800 and ES5000.
Nyos latest design allows cleaned water to exit the skimmer chamber at its base where it is almost bubble-free. Precise adjustment of the water level within the skimmer body can now be easily achieved using the new micro-Adjustable Valve.
Nyos Zen Compact Conesare designed for in-sump use. No feed pump required, skimmers draw water directly from sump.

It can be adjusted but I would like to stay under 8 or 9 inches. I probably could go 9.5 if you are thinking BM.

Setting up a 120 gallon with a 40 breeder sump. Planning for a mixed reef, eventually at least medium stock level, if not high by the time it's all said and done.
This is my list so far:
1. SRO XP2000
2. SWC Xtreme 150 BMK
3. Avast CS-1
4. Bubble Magus NAC7
5. SWC Xtreme 160
Trying to keep it $200-$300 if possible. Number one falls outside that range, but could score a used one.
All work dimensions wise in my sump/stand and water height is not an issue.
What's the recommendation? Feel free to add or delete from the list, just give at least a little justification for your actions.
hey. new to this site. i am setting up a 36g reef tank... so no sump =[ making my life difficult.
i am looking for a quality HOB skimmer for this tank.
this is going in a friends office, so the less maintenance the better, the last thing i need is to get a phone call on Monday morning letting me know about an overflow or leak due to the protein skimmer.
any help is much appreciated =] ty.
Mojo,
Been looking at the Seaside Aquatics CS1 and the Skimz Sm121 for my 46/20 set up. Any preference? Are their others to consider? Real leery about using anything with a meshwheel because of all the start up issues.

This is the skimz 121. They have been making thereskimmers and rebranding them just like the new WM mf line as well. THe skimmer is good. I have one myself. Make sure it has the new magnet assembly
