What type of skimmer do you use?

 

[meschaefer]

I am running a DAS EX-2 on my 65 gallon SPS., with just three little fishies.

 

[Dace]

Deltec family which i regret ap702

 

[herman]

Deltec Ap702 on the main tank and an H&S A150-2001 for the QT

Why regret the Deltecs Dave?

 

[fritz]

You regret the 702!!!!!!
That's just crazy talk.

I think Deltec, watt for watt and dollar for dollar beats most everything out there. Hmmm, the 702 has 2 eheim 1262s right? Ok maybe not watt for watt and dollar for dollar on yours.

That's 170watts, hmmm perhaps the Bar Aquatic may have been better...

What would you go with if you had it to do over again?

 

[mshur]

Bubble- king here.... and i dont regret!!!1

 

[herman]

2 Eheims is right. If I had to do it over again I would have spent the cash on proper equipment right off the bat. I did a lot of BS shopping as we all did trying to save a buck here and doing a DIY there which in the end yielded mediocre results at best. I ended up just giving everything I had away.

I would definitely consider the 2 eheim H&S. All I can say is that when you start out its best to really listen to the people that have a basement full of equipment and have tried everything and anything from the good to the bd to the horrible to the amazing. We have such people here on the board - Cali, pecan, jackson, etc etc

 

[nycmat]

so then what do you think about the ap902??

Using a etss.. moving to asm g3....

The only way i would buy another deltec product is if they had another retailer other the Deltec USA. I bought some equiptment from him for my bother inlaw store and Adrian resold an item i sold him on there site and started some ****. Anyway we paid for our product and his customer service sucks. Don't ever get into a disagreement with him cause he will not service your $hit and would say it was your fault it is damaged. My ap702 was leaking from 3 months after i bought it from him and he told me that i must of damaged it and was selling me a 70.00 glue so i can patch it up myself.

 

[fritz]

Wow that's crazy. WHy didn't your brother-in-law just sign up as a retailer with deltec to begin with? Some other peeps on this board have had issues with their deltec and they were fixed right away. Albert had an entirely new housing shipped to him direct from Germany!

Doug has been great to me everytime I've had to call him. In fact he talked me out of buying more equipment.

 

[nycmat]

same experience as fritz i had. but to each there own. sorry to hear about that daceman

[GQ22]

ATI bubble master, and doing great. btw you left out threadwheel on the poll.

 

[Salesbig]

Just pluged in my g3.. damn... its great.. started skimming right away..

 

[jackson6745]

Needlewheel although I haven't seen ANY skimmer that beats a properly powered beckett.

 

[fritz]

You obviously haven't seen the 8 cyl, dual overhead cam skimmers

 

[alrha]

Albert had an entirely new housing shipped to him direct from Germany!

I see you've been following my RC thread. stalker!
but that is correct, the baffle on my Deltec 1060S was not making a tight seal, and instead of just sending me something to patch it up, they sent me an entirely brand new skimmer (minus the parts i can use from my original skimmer) with expidited shipping from germany. and they did it all with a smile. i've been impressed with their customer service.

 

[House of Laughter]

Venturi?

Is this not a common type for skimmers?

CAn't vote - I am venturi
