UPDATE on Odyssea PS160 skimmer

Well, this is my conclusion on the Odyssea PS160 protein skimmer. WHAT a piece os S**t. Djnzlab1 was right on the money. How could you buy something that doesnt come with instructions? Especially when you didnt go to protein skimmer university!!! After playing around with all different parts to see which one was it, copied my present skimmer's set up, I followed the pic that OGW sent me and as Djnzlab1 stated, it kept on overflowing. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Hey OGW, spend the extra $$$ and get a good skimmer, I did!

 

Thanks for the report...Karma Up

 

Thanks for the report!!

 

Maybe I was a little harsh labelling it a piece of s**t. If it would have came with instructions maybe things would be different. I dont know, whatever!!!!

 

Save the pump it works pretty good,

HI,
I saved my pump from the skimmer and used it for my 2 fish phos reactor it has a little more power than those simple power heads.
Be sure you have a GFI in your power loop in case you get a short in a pump, you'll know all your power will be off.

I thought about saving the whole unit for something else, but I think I'm going to sell it on ebay. Try to get some $$$ back.;D If you know of another use that I can put it to, please let me know. Thanks

 

I'd save the pump at least...I'm sure it could come in handy later.

I have an idea for the rest of it...but it involves pyrotechnics;D

 

dont give me any ideas, I'm a big time fan of pyrotechnics;D . I use to build/make my own fireworks when I used to live in NYC

 

Note to self don't irritate pyro builders.

Hi,
How big was those pyro devices did they level buildings or cars. . hehe

for the record, I did make fireworks that exploded, but I was more into arial displays and mortor shells.;D
