euro reef or ss

euro reef rs 80 or coralife superskimmer 225 for a 50g and 29g sump? hypothetically speaking if they cost the same

 

[manyfish]

same price but the euro reef is a better skimmer then coralife .when buying a skimmer shop around to see what you want in the sump or outside the sump.the correct size for your tank.I go bigger more water turning over rate

 

[bigsink]

I second the Euro-Reef. To me, the best around.

skimmer

how about asm ? i love my asm 3 few people had them for sale on here at a good prie, see if tonyscoots still has his. its got the gate valve mod.

Euro is a better skimmer than ASM.
Better quality as well.

skimmer

Here it is... I can even set it up for you...

 

[Tonyscoots84]

go with a euroreef, well thats what i would decide on if those were my 2 options...

 

[o0jmadr0x0o]

so the ratings realy dont mean anything because the SS is for 220g tank and the ER is for 50g

 

[Tonyscoots84]

do not go by ratings... the are always WAY OVERRATED... :biggrin:

 

[Tonyscoots84]

i know Devious had a euroreef on his tank and it kicked arse... speak to him about it... also ask for pictures of skimmate and how long it took to get it before making your decision on a skimmer...

 

[o0jmadr0x0o]

well went with ER...only running for about an hour but im impressed with the bubble size.

got it used so no instructions, anything i should know about this thing? is the meshwheel mod worth doing?

 

[crox99]

Good choice. Did you get new or used?

 

[o0jmadr0x0o]

used so i dont rely know what model it is.?
also does anyone know the plans or a link for a diy gate valve on this

 

[crox99]

Are the bubbles making it to the collection cup?

 

[DevIouS]

Raise that water level to about 1/4 of the collection cup & adjust from there.
You'll never get skim if kept at that level.


I beleive that is the older ER. ES-5-2 0r 5-3



Yea......T.
I tried both & I kept the ER.

Good Choice...

Here is a pic of a day or 2 of skimmate from my ER running with the needle wheel/mesh modification..
