| I bought it, Installed it and ran it for awhile.
Although I like the concept, and I have a current need for HOB equipment,. I got more water thatn anything in the collection cup.
I tried turning it up, down, , what ever I tried, still got more wahter than foamy gunk stuff. Went to the CPR dual Bak PAk and was able to get some, but still not like you see in the photos.
What are you running now :? Your stock and photos look great ..
I am currently planning a small sump with a sump skimmer and sell my Via Aqua Deluxe, and CPR Dual.
You Interested ?
\Cheers |

I don't have much filtration at all. my main filtration is frequent water changes 10-15gal/week, other than that i have a fluval 304, and a diy sponge w/ power head and media. both together filter around 500gph. I'm looking into a sump/fuge myself.
I was asking about the via aqua cause my brother wants to get it and we don't know anything about it. he currently has the coralife 125 super skimmer which he doesn't really like. what are you looking to get for them?
Thanks for the pic comments. |

Yikes, you must be blessed. Can you post a whole tank pic ? The close ups look great.
What size is your brother building ?
You can PM me on the specifics

| that was the first skimmerr I ever used. RUN...RUN FAST AND FAR...... buy an AquaC Remora, don't waste your money on ViaAqua or Jebo or Seaclone |

| I agree, if u want a good hob skimmer at a reasonable price buy the remora. take it from someone who had their lfs suck cash out of them and take advantage cause they were a newbie. I dont go to that lfs ne more. |
