Instant Ocean Skim Reveiw/Opinoins

phoenixhieghts · 01-05-2009, 05:48 AM

Hey everyone.

I was hoping to get any opinoins or reveiws on the above protein skimmer as im considering buying one.
I've linked a quick article so you know what im on about - but as it says its not available in the US, i know this is a long shot. Never know tho - it could have been released since this article was made

Any opinoins are greatly appreciated

Kinda looks like a Coralife Superskimmer to me. An OK skimmer but not the best by a long shot IMO. How big is your tank and do you have a sump?........

Yeh thats what i figured - it would just be an alright one but nothing special. I did want the Deltec MCE600 - but its so expensive and all my attempts to purchase a second hand one have failed.
Last night i purchased the Tunze Nano Skimmer. I didnt really want to put a skimmer in the actual tank as its only 31G, but this skimmer is relatively small and i've read some great reveiws on it.

No i do not have sump which is why i need a hob - or in my case a hos
