    How often do you have to replace the mesh on the mesh wheel

    I will let you know when I have to. Running since Feb 27 without problems. The most I have had to do is unplug it and replug it when starting it up after a waterchange sometimes to reduce a buzz from the pump.

    This skimmer is great.
    Here is a long overdue pic ...

    That skimmer's definately doing it's job! That skimmate looks like a dark ale with a good head. :)

    Well must be getting popular then. I bought it from nuocean for $156 with free shipping back when I started this thread. It is still worth $199. Easily.

    Refer to link: Bubble-Magus BM-NAC6


    Other Thoughts: What is the diffrence between the Nac6 & the Nac6a; the website says the Nac6a has a bigger bottom neck...

    Wow. 130 is an insane deal. I really love the skimmer.
    Yeah the A version has a different neck.

    I am sure it is great. Just a slightly different neck.
