pheonixsoul25 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 found a used Aqua Medic Turboflotor 1000 for $25 here local is this skimmer worth buying ? Link to comment
CollegeNano Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I have it. Skims like a champ in my opinion on my 46 bow 10g sump. Or I should say "skimmed" because the pump now fails at random intervals during skimming. For $25 though I would buy it again. Never had a pump failure issue until about a year after ownership. If you can use it for a day before you buy it and see if it's cheap because the pump fails! 1-2 weeks skim (if i remember correctly), low bioload (2 fish, every other day feeding) Link to comment

CollegeNano Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Update: Your thread inspired me to really investigate the issue with my pump. It appears that the pinwheel that holds the mesh to create the bubbles had cracked and was becoming dislodged. I believe this was causing the pump failure. I superglued the pinwheel back so it won't budge. It is currently working, but I will update if something changes! Link to comment
