schwaz Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I have an Eshopps PSK-100 skimmer for my Reefer 170. While cleaning it, I broke the ceramic shaft for impeller. I can pickup a replacement impeller for $35. The question is, should I just break down and buy a new skimmer? The Eshopps pulls a decent skimmate, but lacks any fine adjustments and it's fairly loud - easiest the loudest piece of equipment I own. Possible replacements would be Bubble Magus 5, Octopus 110SSS, or Eshopps x-120. Quote Link to comment
mcarroll Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 fix it the only way to get much more quiet is to switch to an internal skimmer like the 9001 and 9004 from Tunze? Quote Link to comment
schwaz Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 I went with an Aquamaxx ws-1 when it was on sale ~$135. Much smaller footprint and much quieter. I still have the eShopps though. Quote Link to comment
