Deltec Turbo Skimmers

Hi, does any bro here use the Deltec turbo skimmer Turbo 1060S? Read that it has a chamber to house Rowaphos and carbon, something like a 2-in-1 skimmer.

Thanks

The turbo skimmers are in-sump skimmers. Means non-recirculating design.

[sheltiejazz]

is that good or bad?

[weileong]

depends on your requirement.

The turbo series are shorter in height and specially design to be place in the sump (under the cabinet).

[sheltiejazz]

ic. so it's more on the physical considerations, and not that it is less efficient than the AP series of similar capacity?

[weileong]

The AP series are recirculating design, so dwell time are longer.

However if your requirement is to place the skimmer of certain rated capacity under the cabinet(in-sump) then the turbo skimmer is better.

For the same rated capacity the turbo series are physically shorter.
