Skimz skimmer

[DUCADOS]

Check out with the expert here. Is skimz skimmer good enough for a 4x2x2.5?

Wat I mean was does it have a good skimmate?

Can be on par with any other brand skimmer?

Reliable n durable?

[DUCADOS]

I not sure which model I looking at but is this brand good?

Or which model should I go for?

i am using skimz sk2 for my 4 2 2. so far so good

[fishiee]

skimz skimmers are supposed to be quite good. a little expensive, but good. as long as you get the standard one that is rated for your tank, you should not be disappointed.

I think the preferred brand is Deltec.

Skimz is a local brand.

All hearsay. I have used neither before so.... better for you to do more homework before purchase.

all skimz skimmers are good just depends on getting one to suit your system

i run a 250 on my 6ft system and the skimate is like mud

and real stinky lol

i will not be changing in the near future by far out performs my deltec

Bro, it's a good comparison between skims and deltec as they are almost identical. Best is the body looks almost the same and powered by needlewheel. Therefore, both can definitely deliver the performance u are looking for, as long as u choose the correct one. however, having said all these, the old models are the one I am referring to(not the older generation of skimz which they seems to use venturi method for their skimmer). The newer one, they are not so identitcal and not much review to compare. In general, go chk their sensitivity and

adjustment method to counter water level issue. u should look at is the after sales service support. If u are on budget and don't care after sales support, u can choose skimz or other brands like reef octopus, bm, etc. For gd after sales service and don't mind forking out slightly more, go deltec from local agent. One story I heard was warranty from a particular brand was after buying and when the needlewheel impellor has problem, he understood from shop warrenty doesn't cover impellor. Then, he got to wait for parts. Just imagine yr precious tank will not have skimmer and u have to find yr way. Just my personal opinion. Fy reference.

i agree with what fred mentioned. want to save money => go skimz. if got extra $ for ease ==> deltec, the newer version do look good.

just my opinion.

Deltec is no longer producing AP models...if i'm not wrong...and the latest TC models are expensive...$2k plus for the SC2560 model. I think u can still get deltec AP models from delightings.com...but these are "left overs"...if u can get deltec AP models...it's a better choice...

another brand u can consider is ATI...also german product...the ATI bubblemaster 200 only uses 40w...low energy consumption, but yet high powered to skim up to 1000litres...and the bubbles are very fine...

Deltec jin gwee leh. I check out from RD,he quoted me 1 which is quite ok wan after - this - that also 1.1k.

Still trying hard looking for 1. Got 1 reefer wanna sell me his H&S but I dunno izzit good enough for my tank.
