Dream Skimmer

Jason -

I've already changed my mind on mine. I'm getting the BK 400 Internal. Deltec's are nice but the prices are way out of line. I had Doug trying to sell me one at IMAC. I think it was the 1106. Think about the power consumption on that thing 4 ehiem recirculating pumps + 1 pump to feed = Round & Round on the electric meter!

The only cool thing is the self cleaning unit but for $1200 + another pump for the flush water... forget it!!!

Go with the BK!!!!

 

that pacific coast import with recir are fantastic for the money see the reef central forum on it, works fantastic but i personally love the ASM's

 

Ruth your not allowed to play if you already have MY dream Skimmer

Awww .......... Well FWIW Hidden Reef is supposed to start carrying or at least being a dealer for these skimmers so I would think that they will have at least one in stock or on one of their tanks that you can admire - or if you are ever in the Peace River country you can come by and see both of mine;D

 

I used to go up to FSJ all the time for work. But now not so much. Now I just push paper around and get others to go up.

Ya I'll talk to Mike when I'm ready. I know he will be buying a lot of Proline stuff

Got a pic of that in action Ruth? 8)

 

Man, that thing is a monster; it blows my venturi style through the wall across the sea into Japan. :-X

 

How about a RK2 skimmer?

 

The weird thing is that people are keeping reef tanks without a protein skimmer. Delbeek and Sprung have written about skimming and downplayed the importance of a skimmer especially with a refugium and a deep sand bed. There is a point where you don't want a skimmer to work to precisely or you will be depleting your water of trace minerals and nutrients required by your inverts and corals to say the least.
