What skimmer are you using right now at this moment?

[roberthu526]

Reef Octopus Diablo 250 ext with neck cleaner and VarioS 6S pump upgrade on my 180

Ha I have the 300 model with the same pump! Awesome skimmer and super quiet pump!

BK mini 160

I still have the one and only used Klaes skimmer that I had purchased way back when I first got into the hobby. Haven't used it as I do weekly water changes. Fortunately years ago a kind friend freely gave me a Bubble King Deluxe 250 with pumps etc. when he upgraded his system!!

TUNZE

I have always wanted to try one out and see how that auto adjust anti over foam thingy works..

I was looking at picking up a vertex 150 cheap on black friday deals but finally figured out my RO super cone elite prime (what ever its called, its a vertex clone) will run on a cheap Aquatrance 1800s as a replacement pump so ill probably stick with it, not worth it to buy a varios 2s plus adapter as that costs almost what a new skimmer costs from vertex.

older Vertex Alpha 170 so far on the new tanks I like it

 

[Ubergroover]

just upgraded to an eshopps x series...works no frills.

Vertex omega 180i. It's a beast!

 

[tgionet]

Reef Octopus Classic 152. No complaints with it but I don't have anything to compare it to.

 

[Pntbll687]

Coralife 300 on my 220g, works good and was a good price.

Trying out a aquatop xyclone on my 29

 

[CoralReefer1019]

SCA 302

 

[biecacka]

BK double cone 200. On a 240 gallon cube with 30+fish and the skimmer doesn't even sweat to keep up. Could add 10-15 more fish easily I think. The thing is a B-E-A-S-T!

I am using Super Reef Octopus 3000 for 5 years on my 300 gal reef and it does an excellent job.

Tunze 9410 skimmer... so far, really like it.

Skimz SN123 I believe. I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. It releases way too many micro bubbles no matter what you do and taking the cup off is a serious chore. I will break something one day trying to get that stupid cup on and off. The o ring design is just plain dumb IMO.

It is quiet and pulls a ton of stuff though. Parts are also easily found at BRS if needed.

Thanks for this I was looking at them

If it has the o ring design on the cup, I would never do it again personally. I'm waiting for the day that it breaks and I'm out a skimmer

Reef Octo 150SSS and this thing pulls tons of stuff no matter what the setting. On low I get a wet pull but turn it up to 5 and it pulls a ton still and it is extremely dark.
