I'm running mag-18 on 30 inch body with mazzei. Seems like more than enough pump and I honestly can't even hear the pump over how much louder the Venturi is. When I close the cabinet door the only thing I can barely hear is the Venturi very dimly even at night when there is no noise. If there is even a small amount of noise like tv on, you can't hear the tank.

Supper impressive performance of LifeReef skimmer this is after feeding food to my fish and corals. Normally when I was running the reef octopus after feeding my fish and corals the reef octopus use to get crazy and stop producing bubbles. With LifeReef skimmer is magic after feeding my fish the LifeReef skimmer star producing microscopic bubbles like i never see in my life

I am thinking of the SVS3-30. How often do you have to clean/vinegar bath the body of the skimmer? How long do you think the body will last...how many years? I heard from one person that he had his for 20+ years.
Is there a list of pumps that are recommended to be used with this skimmer? I am going to see if I can find that info on their site.

I run a Mag 24 and If I recall when I put a Kill-a-watt
meter on it it was only drawing about 100 watts.

I'm never cleaned the body of my skimmer (svs3-30). I've had it for about a year. I try to clean the whole collection cup once a week. Body will last a very long time, easily 20 years.
for the 30in body:
Mag18
Fluval SP4
DC pumps. There are many options here. (I'm using a Jebao DC9000)
Laguna Max flo 2000
Anything from 1700-2400 seems to be a good fit for the 30" body.

Btw, someone may want to let Jeff know that his site keeps getting blocked due to suspicious files found
