Macro has a venturi skimmer series as well which is what you said about just using a pump to run it.

I used to use a weipro but i am currently using a macro needlewheel series. I must say that a needlewheel definitely produces more fine bubbles than the weipro venturi series and for a needlewheel skimmer, its one of the cheapest if not the cheapest in the market.

The only problem with macro needlewheel skimmers is that they produce really fine micro bubbles which can actually be settled by using a box which should be provided when you purchase the skimmer.

If you are gonna be having a 3 feet tank, i say go for the macro needlewheel if you are on a budget for a skimmer that is.

Cheers

Well I don't have the authority to discuss the pros and cons, but I 'd like to share my experience in the skimmers. In the past, i used to have Weipro because it is much cheaper, but the result is not that good. One year ago i changed to Macro ( needle wheel model ) and i am now quite satisfied with its performace. One thing i can say about the cons of Macro is that it is really quite noisy.

If you ask my opinion, i would vote for macro. :)

but is the NEEDLE WHEEL imprellers easily wear off/spoilt? if spoilt, will have a hard time looking for replacement and it may not be cheap for the replacement, as well as a needlewheel pump.

Hi bro jun,

I hv used the Weipro SA2013, then Marco AS300 since Aug05 till recently switched to Deltec :evil: .

Regards to pump, so far i hv not encounter it since Aug05 till now :P .

From performance wise, IMHO, Marco is still the best compare to weipro n Bubble is finer than weipro too :lol: .

Marco is much much higher than weipro( when i bought both since 1 year ago) in term of price.
