my friend told me that there is a web site that is called aqua traders.com he said they have ok stuff for a cheap budget for the moment type thing . there is a Odyssea PS75 Protein Skimmer for about 35bucks . im just askin that is it a good deal until i get a 200$ skimmer. i was thinking of using my mag 3 or 7 on it . what do u guys think. planning on gettin a 200$ skimmer when i get my taxes . pls give me some advice . is it ok for the moment?

do you have a skimmer now ? and by the time you buy a pump and shipping ect your $100 plus into it

 

[mikey3165]

it says pump is included doesnt it? :scratchch

 

[jadakiss]

yea its included

Save your money and spend it on good products not cheap knockoffs.

Chief is right. In this hobby we come to find that u will still spend money on the unit that will out put the maximum result, whether u buy it now or later...

And the brand name won't burst into flames and cause your house to burn to the ground.

aahhhh

Cheif, its $40.......:scratch: WITH THE PUMP>>>>>>>:scratchch:scratchch:scratchch:teeth:

For 75 gallons?????????:scratchch

"# Free EX240 315gph fully submersible powerhead included"

It better be submersible

i think all this will do is fill an extra space in ur closet.

as most reefer's will say from experiance buy right the first time, it cost less in the long run, bandaide equiptment for the moment is a waste, save the extra week or few and get something the's more than you need,

Thats what happens when ur "powerhead " is not fully submerged.. :funnypost

If you waste money on that you will regret it in the end.If you are going to buy a skimmer get a good one. buying from aquatraders you never know what could happen:banghead:{you don't want to burn your house down}

 

[jadakiss]

I bought that skimmer just so I can mess around with it. I found the output to equal a remora. The hidden cost is shipping. They charged over $40 for shipping ground. I will never buy from them again.

im one of the few people who actually has had a decent experience with an aquatrader item. I bought there metal halide lighting and thought it was a really good light, worked very well for the price, but this might have been an abnormal experience

My friend bought that same skimmer and had to pay 40+ bucks in shipping and it never worked properly. He ran it for 3 months and never got one cup of skim mate. The motor burned out at 3 months he bought another motor and it did work a little better but then began to leak. Its now trashed.

Bro,
Just save your pennies for a really good skimmer. You may get a cheaper product now, but you'll end up spending more in the future cuz it'll be replaced with something else. Whether that's a cheap product that goes bad, or simply the inevitable desire to upgrade. For your set-up, even the smallest euro-reef (rs-80) will yield the results you're looking for. That can be had for just around $200. With your intended purchase cost at aquatraders(+shipping), think of being a quarter of the way there.
I'm sure you wont regret it, and neither will your tank.
