kinetic Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Figured that since it's Black Friday, might as well stock up on some possible future nano tank. I'm thinking of getting the Red Sea Reefer (nano or 170) at some point, and was wondering if you guys would recommend a small skimmer. NYOS seems nice, but BM price looks great. I haven't been in the game for awhile, and I've been reading a ton of posts but haven't gotten much from a comparison here. Thanks! Link to comment
kinetic Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 go for the nyos Do you have one? Ever compare it with the BM Curve? Link to comment
iPhone Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Do you have one? Ever compare it with the BM Curve? I've had a bubble magus nac 3.5 on a tank a while ago,although it did the job to an extent the quality was not good in my point. Recently I saw the whole nyos skimmer line at an LFS and played around with the 120 and the 160 and they are well worth the pretty penny they charge due to the quality being top notch and ease of use. Personally for my nano I went with a reef octopus 110 SSS.near the same size of the nyos but the price is cut in half. Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 word on the street is nyos is made in the same factory as bubble mag which is china so i would go for the bubble mag to be honest Link to comment
heifinator Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 word on the street is nyos is made in the same factory as bubble mag which is china so i would go for the bubble mag to be honest Not saying you are wrong or I disagree but just because something is made in the same factory does not mean its the same quality. Material choice, design decisions, construction methods, and quality control all play factors as well! Link to comment
iPhone Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 word on the street is nyos is made in the same factory as bubble mag which is china so i would go for the bubble mag to be honest Shouldn't make a difference,bubble king can be made in the same factory and people would still buy it. Different product,different material,manufacturing process and different quality control. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Coral Box D500 is another option. DC pump, completely SILENT, excellent build quality. Just got mine broken in, and DAYUM. Link to comment
gus6464 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Germans underrate their skimmers while everyone else overrates immensely. Main reason why I like their stuff. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Couldn't tell you, IMHO a pump is a pump. DC is just quieter, and easier to tune to the body of your skimmer and your bioload. Link to comment
Kylebeano Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I have the Nyos, bought it used, and it is worth every dollar. The tunability is incredible, it's very quiet, pulls gunk, excellent quality, all the screws are Ti and same size/thread. I had a bubble magus previously, granted old NAC5, and it was a toy compared to the quantum. Link to comment
yevgenb Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Bm5 needs at least 8.5 inches depth that Red Sea Reefers dont have - sump is too shallow. Been there, done that. Just replaced it in 170 for skimz sn123 Link to comment
