Vertex Omega 150?

[Pseudo]

It works well in 8" of water.

Kasei, that looks awesome. I'm excited to see what you do with the cube, man!

 

[ecvernon]

So far so good. Skims consistently and is working shortly after feeding. I no longer have problems with overflowing after feeding like my swc 160 had

Ecvernon,

What size tank are you running it on? What depth and are you just using the wedge pipe to tune?

Tony, E,

I just got the new bulbs and sump so I am still waiting for a few items before I post the whole tank. I will start a thread for that. Everything is temporary for the next month or so.

I am running it on a 65 gallon tank. I am only using wedge pipe to tune. So far so good.

 

[ecvernon]

I am running it in 8.5 inches of water

EC, it looks like the skimmer is working very well. How do you feel about the noise levels?

 

[Pseudo]

No noise from mine. Slight hum because I haven't put the new sump in with the mat underneath (happening this weekend) I hardly notice it and it is in my bedroom..

 

[ecvernon]

Hardly any noise from mine either. I hear it if I am 1-2 feet away. But any further I can't hear it at all.

Just an update. Skimmer is great. stinks like hell. This is 4 days of skimmate on a 60g cube sps dominant.

update

So far I like this skimmer. It is very consistent and even skims shortly after using epoxy or feeding. Most important to me is that it has never overflowed on me.

Sweet! I just got this skimmer. I'm going to be running it in a 125 mixed reef

any updates on the skimmer? I was wondering if the foot print is really 11x11 or can it be smaller? how many inches is the shortest side of the footprint, I heard someone said 8" and would like to know if thats true or not, thanks.

Folks still happy after using this skimmer for a few months? How quiet is the pump?

 

[Pseudo]

Hey Eric,

Mine is still going strong. Cleaning the skimmer right now. 4 days worth and skimming wet

 

[E.intheC]

That looks like it's producing quite well, Kasei.

 

[Pseudo]

Yep smelly and consistent. Once I close my cabinet I don't hear a thing from the skimmer. The pump is silent but you do hear the air draw. But again once you close the cabinet I hear the drone of the vortech's more than anything else.

Any updates on this skimmer? It's been a few years. Still a top contender for my 90 gallon build.

Had one and didn't love it. My eshopps cone 150 I believe was the model actually worked better for me on my old 80 gallon.
