i saw these on aquarium excellence's facebook and i was like hmm should i..

 

[leodb89]

Got my Marine Magic running tonight finally. Pretty loud ... but then it will be set to run overnight so not an issue.

might be loud but i thing its a sexy unit

 

[JimmyDang]

Yeah it does look hella nice though but kamoer I think my best bet, buy to confirmed the new equipment I'll be getting, marine source RDC-250, kamoer doser and reactor..not sure what I wanna get, just need something to tumble carbon.

 

[leodb89]

why dont you try that RLS gear for your skimmer and reactor

 

[aussieant32]

+1 the rlss stuff is quality, I have the R8i and the FR4

 

[JimmyDang]

My tanks is only 100litres..the rlss don't make anything that small. It's a nano tank..Im still kinda looking for a skimmer, I wanted a cone skimmer as they're gonna be more better at skimming than my tunze doc skimmer. Any of yous know one which would fit? I've got 17cmx15cm so I need something with that foot print to fit inside.

 

[aussieant32]

not sure, I would run nothing but the tunze 9002 skimmer, fantastic unit, punches well above its weight

 

[JimmyDang]

I'm running the tunze, Im not fully happy with it. And it skims okay..but I wanna make use of the space I have..my tank compartments are big so I don't see why not..upgrade to a better skimmer. Tunze are just over rated in my opinion that's all. And they're not that great of a skimmer. Slim line and energy efficient but skimming..it's average.

 

[leodb89]

theres a smaller deltec than mine i think its the sc1255 or 1355 i think...

 

[aussieant32]

couldnt disagree more on the Tunze, but each to their own :)

 

[JimmyDang]

Yeah tunze are nice, never missed a beat..just want something better as the new tank is getting me equipment..only transferring will be the live stock..everything else will be for sale when I get everything together..cheers Leo, I'll check those out now.

 

[JimmyDang]

Nice skimmers..but too big, 22x22 ft print..I need something 17x15..pretty small space..for a decent skimmer..huh

 

[LEG-IT]

what about the cadlights skimmer?

 

[leodb89]

my skimmer is 17x22 or 25 not sure but thats a 1455 and its for 100L and its way overkill for mine so for yours it more than likely will start skimming your fish and corals lol

 

[JimmyDang]

I saw the cad light one, was about only $170shipped, new design though or something tubeless skimmer..read reviews where the internal part where it makes bubbles over time it screws up..lol I was actuslly pretty close to buying it and the reactor..but I'm very unsure what brand I should even go..

 

[leodb89]

TBH i gotta agree with aussie the tunze have been top stuff doing the job but i feel ya jimmy d theres imes when you wanna splurge and go all out so i say get a vetex or that brand that makes zeovit :P do it right...make us all jealous

 

[LEG-IT]

how about you update your thread instead of commenting on others leo, People are waiting. Gosh. You have deadlines to meet.

 

[JimmyDang]

Lol! I could always go external hey, and get a crazy ass skimmer just for some eye candy..but lol it won't even skim..il have to empty the cup every year or something as my tanks not gonna be heavily stocked..well I think it's not gonna be.

Yeah Leo, how's the new scape? Put the mini maxi in yet? I just scored a mini maxi for $20..lol
