whats the volume of the tank+sump?

 

[leodb89]

tank is approx 216 prob a bit less cos the calculator i used didn't ask for the thickness of the glass...and the sump im not too sure prob around 70-90?

 

[aussieant32]

Id still run the 9002 or the 9006, just love that skimmer.

I have no experience with that deltec but the last one I owned is still one of my favorite skimmers very quiet, easy to tune and pulled an awesome crapacino

 

[leodb89]

yeah but the last one you owned was probably worth around 1000-2000 and this one is 360-380 ...got me thinking that ill get what i pay for in going for their entry level...im hoping its good i neeed a silent (near silent) good skimmer

if all goes well ill be restoring the cabinent this weekend....good to know my biolife 2ft cube is one of the rare ones with a stand that is made from hard wood and not that mdf or whatever :)

 

[leodb89]
