Jonathan, welcome to RC. Yes it does make some noise. Its as loud as a remora. I works well though.

 

[tohey]

Thank you, cobbobby.

That was an extremely quick response =]

Hmm I might have to look elsewhere..

Thanks again,
Jonathan.

EDIT:

Wait, I don't even know how loud a remora is =P
I mean I'm not a silence-freak.. but if it's bearable I'll still be happy with it, if it performs well while doing so.
Would you say someone could sleep through it? Or is it THAT kind of noisemachine =P

 

[cobbobby]

If it was in my bedroom i would not be happy. Since its not i dont mind it. It performs very very well though and price is untouchable.

 

[asonitez]

Is the noise a hum or a crazy sucking whipping watter kinda sound?

Check out my nano build. I just got a Bubble Magus BMQQ.

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a BM150 so it should be here in the next week. I also brought a Bubble Magus dosing pump at the same time. I can't wait to get them both and see how they perform.

Where did you find a dosing pump? I am interested.

Not too sure if I am allowed to post a link but pm me and I'll send it to you.

I joined the club! I got a NAC6 from Nuocean

 

[ckranz]

Any more info on the BMQQ? I was thinking about getting on for my Nano have a JBJ 28G wanting to know if it would fit and how good it works vs. Tunze or Saphire or something like that.

I will be receiving a prototype bubble magus mini pro designed for the cadlights pro sump. I will be beta testing this thing prior to their release in november but can't find any info at all on the pump they are using for this. It's an Atman 1100PH pump according to cadlights and all I've read is horrible things about atman pumps.

Has anyone had good experiences with the Atman pumps? Are they just Via Aqua Knock offs?

[cobbobby]

If they use good magnets they work fine. They are just via aqua pumps. They aren't anything special but they work.

 

[reeftivo]

Thanks,

I have a few pumps I may be able to mod in case the pump acts up. I just need to figure out the input size when I get it.

I own a NAC6 and I love it.
How about the cone NAC7?

[Dyraxe]

And the award for cheapest cone goes to....... =)

I have a NAC6 as well so I am guessing this NAC7 should be a winner.

 

[grassi]

Or you can go even cheaper building your own, like this guy:

I just built a couple of kalk reactors and I'm probably gonna try a cone skimmer. At least until the NAC7 cone is gonna be in the US

A pic of the reactors I built

 

[pIankton]

Ahh man... The NAC7's probably gonna cook the competition - in price alone. I think it's time for the skimmer manufacturers of the world to realize that good skimmers don't necessarily mean you'll have to pay out the nose. Now if only the lighting manufacturers would follow the example.

 

[geoxman]

That cone is only around $180 shipped?? Too bad it is 220v! I am sure nuocean is already on it!

 

[grassi]

Well... I relocated to Oregon 2 years ago from Europe and I'm still using my phone and other devices with an adapter ;-) So 220 to 110 is easy! You can find the adapter everywhere in the us.

 

[herostar]

I need a new skimmer for my setup and these look very promising!


For a ~50g system would you recommend the NAC6 or the BM99?
What are the main differences, advantages, and disadvantages of these two skimmer?


I realize the skimmer may be a little oversized, but I like to feed heavily with heavier stocking, and don't want to have to upgrade skimmers if I get a different tank in the future...
