Weipro Skimmers

[ohmedic]

Does anyone know anything about Weipro skimmers. I have seen that they are very inexpensive and as I am trying to save money that is a plus to me. but I do not know anything about them, are they any good ? I dont want to waiste money on something that wont work but if I can find something cheap that will work well then hey I am all for it.

Thanks

My first skimmer was a Weipro. It didn't work at all because the pump it came with was too underpowered.

so if I was to put a 800gph or so pump on one would it be ok?

just to clarify I am thinking of getting the SA-2015 and using my CAP2200 pump with it. I believe the CAP is rated at aprox 800gph.

not the best skimmers, I would get something else. what is your budget?

 

[ohmedic]

my budget is around $100

an aquaeuro classic 55 is around that (reefnut.com) and it will beat a weipro for sure. If you could up it a little the classic 135 or an octopus nw150 would be a big step up. What size tank and do you have a sump?
