u mean the current one ah :evil:

Three Cheers for the quattro designer under the sky,

Seven for the other gurus in their halls of stone,

Nine for organics doomed to die,

One for me on my dark throne,

In the Land of Sengkang where the quattro lies.

One skimmer to rule them all, One skimmer to find organics,

One skimmer to bring them all and in the bubbles bind them

In the Land of Sengkang where the quattro lies.

:lol:

tat huge... hmm how tall is the skimmer?? look like coral farm equipment hahah

GIve up liao!!!!!!!!!!!

"I do not have a strong preference for any particular skimmer style. Rather I strongly recommend the employment of two skimmers on every system in different styles. The employment of two or more skimmers will ensure nutrient export without interruption from cleanings if the skimmer service is staggered."

I currently run my 3 ft with 2ft sump with 1 x urchin and 1 x shuran. Both did not stop skimmimg. ;)

Be teachable always, nobody has a monopoly on wisdom. But learn to distinguish "fact" from "opinion".

No worries my friend. That's what I call "Best of Both World" -a combination of German & American technology. ;)

But in order to save cost, I might be selling schuran soon and change to sanders. :P

Schuran is running on Eheim and is good. But since I am only using it as a secondary skimmer, I think I will try to use the Sander currently running my QT tank.

So when I dismantle QT, Sanders will be in my main tank vice-versa.

As the sanders is only a air pump skimmer, I guess it will be lass power consumming as compared to the Schuran.

Sunny - you interested? Although I am in no hurry of letting go, if you want, I can release it anytime. Better than posting and waiting. :lol:
