WOW that seaclone looks like it's skimmer better than a Deltec

I've never seen one work so well! You must have some serious crud in your tank

Peirce, update on the H+S? How does it compare to the BK, DAS, Deltec, and beckett?

I didn't know they still made seaclones, lol. J/k. It sure looks like it's skimming well. Have you modded it at all?

nanchil · 11-12-2006, 11:25 PM

No. I didnt do any mod. It took two weeks to start skimming. After that it is doing its job. But planning to upgrade.

Well, since we Nano guys are ppl too, we also have skimming issues.

Here's my new skimmer.

Sapphire Aquatics NC12

Pros: fits in one of the chambers of the Nanocube and Aquapods
works nicely for a nanocube
Plug and play
Well made, simple but nice design

Cons
It is kind of loud
if you are using the Aquapod this model is not going to fit with the hood on

nano skimmers are so cute compared to the big beasts we have all become acustomed to.

spykes · 11-13-2006, 01:49 AM

nano should have skimmers with the same water volume as tank.

OH man I would love to see a nano using the skimmer as the sump/return /circulation pump.

well guys, finally went with a big skimmer. Here are some pics in action. The skimmer has been running for 24 hours and it has produced roughly 4 times the amount of skimmate that my aqua c urchin pro produced in a day. Initial skimmate is a bit wet, but we'll see what happens after a few days. Skimmate shown is from my tank which hasnt been fed for 1.5 days. Uses a thread wheel technology

Pros - lots of small bubbles, size 23" height, price around $650 to $700, low wattage pumps, quiet, leight weight
cons - So far, the only con is it is letting micro bubbles back into the sump via the return. Need to find a way to remedy that. Any suggestions?
