hi...i am using a prizm skimmer......got no kopi o but got very dark teh o.......just want to chare with u guys....i using the prizm duluxe for my 3 feet tank.......its better to overpower the skimmer right ??

[weishun]

Yes, its better to overpower the skimmer rather then underpower it. Anyway the Weipro is quite value for money. Was a Weipro user before switching to a Macro. Both performs equally better except that the Macro have a bigger reaction chamer then the Weipro and can produce more bubbles. The Macro tends to produce finer bubbles then the Weipro i believe. Thats why some ppl prefer to use the Macro. Hehe just my 2 cents worth.. Cheers!

Kopi-o.

I'm using a Weipro 2014 and thinking of changing to the Macro needlewheel. Anyone knows if its worth it to change or not much difference? And also which model to go for? The biggest? My tank's 4X1.5X2.

don't waste your money, is the same.Bought a AS300p.regret.

Really ah? Lucky nearly made an impluse purchase the other day I saw it. With Weipro, my NO3's about 25. Was thinking a new skimmer could get it down to 0. Anyone has luck with the needlewheel macro?

Does your 2014 make a lot of kopi-o?

do you think two 2012 is more powerful than a 2014? thanks

i seriously think more options of skimmer should be added to have a wider range for selection.

H & S and beckett and others should be added...

this can be another thread for ppl to compare the above mentioned skimmers

I think a good or bad skimmer got 80% to do with your tuning. With weipro I can get wet dark skimmate, with Macro venturi I can get very dry foam and skimmate.

Try lowering the air intake to create a finer jet of bubbles...

Finer bubbles = Dryer skimate

but when i tune it to the lowest point..it is nt able 2 produce skimmate even i leave it for a day...

[Zac]

hi guys iam using macro AS350 . but cant really get dark skimmate le.. any idea how to make it work more effectively? is it true that i can change to a more powerful powerhead to make it work more effectively? please advice .... Peace...

[flying carpet]

Weipro is a reliable skimmer me got no problem with it. No need to waste so much money on high class brand buy accroding to reliability not hype. By the way just saying through experience .

[kueytoc]

Anyone using Atman II PH-2000 Skimmer (35W) which I believe got the redistribution license from ViaAqua model (or vice versa ?). I couldn't tune it to get dry skimate. Any suggestions ?

[cowgum]

Think this poll is way outdated !!! Should start a new one

[dijovi]

For weipro is best not to follow the recommended pump. I'm using Weipro 2011 with Rio 10HF 2700L/Hr

[NGWEEKOK]

anyone use this before? The price just $135 dun know good anot?

The DYMAX Protein Skimmer is a highly performance protein extractor. It’s powerful injection flow rate pumped into the reacting chamber, producing tremendous number of tiny bubbles. The foam collected by the skimmer are made up by protein and other organic compound. These organic waste must be removed before they turn into nitrate and nitrite. The fine bubbles produces by the skimmer also helps to increase oxygen dissolved and ORP (oxidation reduction potential) level.

[kueytoc]

My advice...try to get a big & good performance protein skimmer & do not scrimp on this important piece of equipment. It's gonna be the 'heartbeat' of ya system.

[alois]

Hard to vote as all the skimmers mentioned are crap.

Get a quality skimmer as it will pay for itself in the long run.

Most of these cheap skimmers wont skim very well after a few months.

:: Can anyone PM me where to get Weipro 2011? need to upgrade my skimmer. ::

[oceanus]

i feel the best value skimmer should also be the one which is runing on the least power consumption..
