skimmer vs skimmer
- Thread starter asmodeus
- Start date
I have a Simplicity 120 on an older 90 gal. and I am not too happy with the performance.. I will admit that my water level could be more consistant.
I too am a skimmer head... What about option 3 get an Octopus 150 skimmer (elite or regular) they are DC and have the auto shutoff built in .. If cost is an issue you can generally find them used for a reasonable $$

I'm beginning to look for more consistency with Simplicity.
Probably might have been better off with Bubble Magus.

The old tank had a DAS EX-3
Besides pumps being prone to wear it was a great unit.

I just threw a ReefOctopus Regal 200-EXT on a 75 gallon (50 gallon sump)...
Overkill, but it is the smallest DC Octo made. I am running it at about half speed
I am amazed at how easy this thing was to setup. I adjusted it once and off to the races...

That is a very nice skimmer. When the pump goes on my EuroReef, I'm looking to upgrade to the Varios S pump.

My Sicce pumps on my Reef Dynamics INS80 and 150 purchased in 2016 from Aquarium Source are still rocking it. I have only cleaned them a few times. When I do my maintenance, I just put my finger over the air tube so it draws water, and use a turkey baster to put water in that to clean the dust out. They are work horses.
Thats weird they make a 150 but yeah really nice skimmer especially with the auto shutoff on cup and ability to connect to a controller

They don’t make a 150 with a dc pump (regal) Just the classic and the mid grade models with AC pumps.

Yep and "Super" as well. I Don't have room for an internal skimmer so my smallest option for a DC model from OCTO was the Regal 200-EXT.

Installed 20 year old euroreef ins180 to cure some live rock
This is 8 hrs of skimming, not even at correct water depth
Had to put a weight on top of collection cup, it was foaming so Hard it blew the lid!!
I’ve used many skimmers, these really are some of the best n easiest to use
Please excuse my Prime shim
