Hi Guys:

I want to buy a new skimmer for my solana 34g. Although the tank is looking good and I feel that the stock skimmer does skim a lot, I read that other skimmers will definitely outperform the stock....sooooo I'd like to see what you guys suggest based on experience.

I'm not really sure I want a HOB. I'd rather an in tank skimmer to take place of the stock skimmer.

I was debating about the sapphire-- any users with experience?

Also, where did you guys (if you did buy a sapphire) get your skimmer? I found a place but they're out of stock and I want to get it ASAP.

I've been reading the forums to gain knowledge, but any input is always appreciated.

Thanks!

Saphire is awesome!! I started my solana back in sept, and bought the saphire because of the noise of the stock. Saphire is QUIET!!! and you just take it out of the box and insert it in the tank and turn it on!!!
works great!!!

does it work better or is it just more quiet

I'm seriously looking at the euro-reef nano....

Rehype has a review on his tank thread. looks sweet...had been waiting for a good review.

Yeah, is it just quieter or is it actually more efficient?

I think it is much more efficient! much better air flow

Ok great, just going to look for a place to order it. The place I tried last night is out of stock!

Thanks!

sapphire the way to go bro

I purchased a Euroreef Nano Skimmer made for my Solana. They will try to do a custom fit for your tank. I had to change a few things, ie drill out the hole in the bottom a little bigger. It is now working great and I can't imagine that another skimmer would pull out more crap from a nano tank than this one.
