evilc66 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_viewItem.asp..._campaign=mdhfl Saw these posted on Marine Depots website. Seems interesting, and a great price. Comments? Link to comment
scottyreef Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 A friend and i were just talking about this skimmer.If it lives up to what its says with the needle wheel it should be pretty good. I might buy to put on my 90 gallon marine tank to see how well it will do with my bubblemaster 160 working at the same time. Has anyone else thought about putting it though a trial run? the price is great if it will do what it says it will Link to comment
DBTReefer Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ooh, if that actually works well they are gonna be hot stuff! Link to comment
Codeman Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'm looking for a skimmer as I'm upgrading to a 25 Gallon, I might try this one out! Link to comment
evilc66 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 The only thing that stands out at me is how short the reaction chamber is. I like that they integrate the pump into the base, but it kills the hight of the reaction chamber. For less than $60, it might be worth a try. Link to comment
scottyreef Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 +1 agree but i wonder how easy it would be to mod the pump if it turns out that there needle wheel doesnt stand up? Also with the short reaction chamber it might hinder it output. the price and what it says it can do i deffently worth a try Link to comment
scottyreef Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Not to hijack but this is the EuroReef nano skimmer that will hopefully come out soon so they say. but here are the stats on it. it looks prossiming it has a alloy micro mesh wheel, twin pumps but it going rate is around $170 reasonable for a good nano skimmer release late march ( but they have been pushing it back for over a year now) http://www.reefbuilders.com/2008/12/29/eur...ets-pushed-out/ Link to comment

I'm not paying that for the skimmer for my 40B. Link to comment
scottyreef Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 yeah $170 is stiff but if you have thousands of dollars in corals and fish in a tank whats another small drop in the bucket at least it not the price of a deltec. Well see if this thing even comes out in march i am not betting on it Link to comment
Drizzt Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Never had a protein skimmer, but I think I want one now. I have a NC 12dx and have just started a 29g frag tank. If anybody gets this AquaticLife skimmer, let us know how it turns out because I'll probably buy 2 if it's any good. Link to comment
evilc66 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 It's so new that it's not even on their own web page. Marine Depot seems to be the only place that has them in stock though. Link to comment
