Best cone skimmer

[roscoe]

What's the go to brand when it comes to cone Skimmers nowadays?

 

[mwebber28]

I had a SWC 160 and it was great until the atman 2500 gave out. Hard to find parts for and expensive when you do as its a Canadian company. So I won't recomend them.

However, I have a Bubble Magnus Curve 7 now, love it. This thing pulls a load of junk out like nobodies buisness.

Whats wrong with this place, it yoused to be heavy traffic and now, crickets... chirp...

reef octopus still great bang for the buck.

 

[roscoe]

Thanks guys! Yeah @nwebber28. It's odd here now lol. What happened to this place? Did something happen to scare people away?

 

[Premiumaq]

They're all awesome - that's why they give them that sleek shape!

Sellers gimic imo
The site has become a Barron wasteland of left over reefers.

Left over reefers!!! I recent that! :tsk: LOL. Sarang, not much new in skimmers since you got out, SWC, Reef Octopus, Curve, and some like the SCA models on ebay. I can vouch for the first 2 the others I haven't used.

I'd take a close look at the Vertex skimmers. I have installed quite a few, and own one myself. Top drawer craftsmanship, and great performance and you don't need to take out a loan to get one. Barrier Reef was stocking them, and Bulk Reef Supply has the full line. J

Second on vertex skimmers. They fit in the sumps well and pull lots of crap out.

I have a curve 7 it works great, most of any of the above mentioned should be just fine.

Sarang is going with a custom system now from OBD. So he might opt for one of there air driven skimmers. I have heard good things about them too but never seen one in action yet.

Dumbest thing I have ever read from you. Shame, shame, shame...

To be forgiven you must now go drink from the cup of skim... or just say sorry. Either way, your choice...:wink:

Yeah, atleast give them a look before making a decision.

Not drinking skimate... sry
Sorry. I mean it in the best kinds of ways.
...its picking up around here.

I'd like a new reef octopus external recirculating or not skimmer off auction site. I think low end is $400. Just to chime in.

I see not much has changed much in the Skimmer market. So many choices. I like the Vertex but they spendy compared to some comparable products. I'm thinking about either REEF Octopus Elite 220int or the Reef Octopus Regal 250int or 300int or a Bubble Magus curve9

I've seen the REEF Octopus Elite 220int in operation and it looked impressive.
