Asin Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Has anyone used one of these? Taam Rio Nano Protein Skimmer -Asin Link to comment
accord86 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I saw it here, but I don't have any first hand experience. Actually looks decent. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...threadid=968288 Link to comment
Asin Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yeah, it looks pretty good, especially the price. Link to comment
SaVeThEeELs Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 no ones probably got it...its new....... i wanna see the pump on it before i buy one.......looks like a re-vamped skilter Link to comment
accord86 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 It does use a very small needlewheel pump though (I don't think skilters use needlewheels). Link to comment
Asin Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Link to comment
SaVeThEeELs Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 It does use a very small needlewheel pump though (I don't think skilters use needlewheels). its a skilter w/ a needle wheel?? LOL either way, if its not pushin enough water its wasted money..... i just dont wanna buy one then later have to drop an airstone in it..... well see....someone will buy it b/c its cheap and well see what they say its gotta be 200% better than the fission Link to comment
autoponicz Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 anyone got the dimensions for this thing?......i wonder if it will fit in my 10G with my ac 110..... Link to comment

SaVeThEeELs Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 my skilter skimmed too when i first got it....... but this guy is quiet eh???? im getting closer to being conviced to get one..... Link to comment
jeremai Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Seems promising, but the reaction chamber doesn't seem to be nearly as tall as it should... Link to comment
S.I.C. Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Seems promising, but the reaction chamber doesn't seem to be nearly as tall as it should... I am under the impression the reaction chamber should be a minimum of 8 inches. Is that right? Link to comment
jeremai Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 After reading through some DIY skimmer threads a while back, that'sthe impression I got. Link to comment
travisurfer Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 still sounds decent based on the review. will have to follow along on this one Link to comment
The Unit Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I want to tag along. Im not looking for an amazing, perfect skimmer so if it kinda gets the job done ill have to pick one up. Hell i had a seaclone that was a beast with some mods. Pluse this will just fit on my MB7 w/ my ac70 on back. Would love some insurance for my tank if i get lazy on my Wc's Link to comment
BigAl07 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Anyone else used it yet? Is it any good? Allen Link to comment
Matty1124 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 wow this looks pretty good for 30 bucks.... im going to go see if i can find one around me... i agree with The Unit, it maybe be worth having for those days i just dont feel like doing water changes... plus 30 bucks is pretty cheap in this hobby Link to comment
RBuddha Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Anyone that tries to improve on a Skilter...well...i think that says it all. Link to comment
paradicio Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I had one and it was just a pain. Difficult to get it to skim at all and when it did it released TONS of microbubbles into the tank. I ended up dumping it and getting an AquaC Remora Nano Skimmer. More money but much easier to use, it actually skims, and it doesn't release tons of microbubbles into my tank. Link to comment
