Saw peong RO HO skimmer. Impressed by the price. However, if one scare of leak, then go mce600, less joints exposed as everything is internal.

This is the skim mate for 6 hrs. My tank is currently cycling with zero LS just 20+kg of LR. Cycle going to complete so very little skim mate collected. Skimmer still able to produce such black skim mate is already quiet good in my opinion.

Happy Reefing =)

Tian is using the larger model. Below is the link to OR's Australian site. It assigns different names over there.

Your link shows the OTP1000(actually model of its pump) which is the "Module400", rated for 400L.

Tian's is the BH2000 which is the "Module600", rated for 600L.

The thing with these OR HO skimmer design is that there's no overflow connection at the skimmer cup, so that one has to be quite religious about cleaning the cup on a regular basis. (One more thing you can't leave alone if you're going on a long trip.)

For those who're interested, below is a link to BH2000 review that showed up on my Google search.

I using BH-2000, i got it from fresh and marine. For that price i find it quite a good buy. Skim mate produce is good and is easy to set up. Wet or dry skim mate is just adjusting the collecton cup height. But down side is that it might flood your house if piping is loose or the skim mate over flow[very unlikely!].

Happy Reefing!

everything is outside the tank. only thing inside the tank is the water intake and outlet.
