Bermuda Skimmers

[fritz]

I've heard a bunch of these were sold to MR members but I've never heard anything about their use.

Anyone who owns one or has owned one that can chime in with their experience. Have you owned any other skimmers? How does it compare?

We are obviously in favor but here is a 4 day sample of the BPS-8c from the SPS trough system (275g). It is running with a sedra 12 - previously we had a VS3-24 (Lifereef) and this one pulls close to double in less time - consequently, it is using the same pump as did the Lifereef -

I am only allowed to clean it when the house is vacant :biggrin: pretty damn nasty!

Rich you gotta see it - is NOT a deltec by any stretch - it IS less than 1/2 the ticket though.

Now that it is established that HOF(Jim) uses a bermuda skimmer, does anyone else on this board also. Inquiring minds want to know...

 

[NYreefNoob]

steveo32 has the roque but i dont think he has it set up yet

 

[sporty]

Good thread-hav'nt heard much since the group buy

 

[fritz]

That's why I posted this, I thought that there were a bunch out there in use but I never hear about them or see pics of them. There isn't much on other boards about them either. No "check out my skimmate!" posts?

 

[Awibrandy]

Would be nice to hear from those who purchased them!! It's been close to a year now, and inquiring minds want to know!

Here are some pics of my BA-3pc after 2 1/2 days of skimming. I have had only 1 other skimmer b4 this one and its much better than my euro-reef 5-3.

What size tank is that on? I am really considering buying a bermuda. Actually this model the BPS-8C...
