Gouldian Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Bought the above skimmer in 2004 October to help some friends set-up Nanos. One of them have since given up and thus, I am selling it. Comes with original OR Needlewheel pump and brackets. I have in total set up 3 Nanos with the Biostar and have never been disappointed by its performance. Excerpts from www.aqua-medic.de " The Biostar Flotor is a combination of a powerful motor driven protein skimmer with the Biorotor biological filter. It is designed for salt water aquariums up to 250 l (c. 65 gal). It is the smallest commercially manufactured complete filter system for salt water aquariums. The competitively priced Biostar Flotor allows nearly every tank within its capacity to be transformed into a marine aquarium. It is an ideal filter system for beginners in the marine hobby. With the Biostar Flotor the new trend in marine aquaria, the Microreef and Nanoreef aquariums can be successfully achieved. The skimming capacity of the system is large enough for dense stocking levels, even with fast growing SPS corals. The Biostar Flotor is also ideal for specialist aquaria - for sea horses, crustacea or other invertebrates. - protein skimmer with venturi pump (Ocean Runner PH 2000, 9 watts with Needle Wheel) - Biorotor system creating exceptional biological capacity with enhanced oxygen uptake as the bacteria are alternately emersed and submersed. - simple "hang on" mounting with 4 cm capacity holder Dimensions (l x w x h): 8.5 x 25 x 23 cm - including foam cup 38 cm (c. 3.4" x 10" x 9.2" - including foam cup c. 15.2")" Intend to sell to the highest bidder. Starting price $160, $10 per additional bid. Please post here, no PM with be entertained. Quote "Reefs, like forests, will only be protected in long term if they are appreciated" Dr. J.E.N.

Gouldian Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 Bro can this skimmer be use for a 3x2x2 tank??How is this performance compare to MACRO Skimmer I dun used Macro thus not fair for me to comment. However, personally I will tend to trust the European and American product as oppose to the Asian made products. Due to the fact that the latter using don't invest in R&D but try to copy the former and also due to the fact that they frequently over rate their products. 3 x 2 x 2 if not heavily stock or if you intend to use it for FOWLR still can. But if you intend to keep on a Acros and fishes - not adviseable. Quote "Reefs, like forests, will only be protected in long term if they are appreciated" Dr. J.E.N.
