Didn't the BK300 give you the best performance? How's the cone skimmer?

Not at a $/performance bases.. plus the H&S U.S. distributor is much nicer to deal with, BK distributor won't deal with warranty or spares directly with the end user.

The cone skimmer sure has a lot of "hype", I ran the thing for two months and it's "blah...". I don't see any performance gain with the cone, you lose reaction\contact space and time with a taper shaped body.

Been running the DAS EX-1 in my apartment for over 3 years now. Still producing great results in my <100gal total volume mixed reef. I have alot, I mean alot of fishes in there, so my bio load is huge. The DAS EX-1 produce about a liter worth of waste in a week.

Took an old H&S A200-1260 from a FOWLR that was replaced to my apartment to see how much more it can pull out. In 3 days, it already produced more then 1 liter worth of waste! What a dirty tank I have...

ETSS 1000.....$#@&ing loving it! I just put it on my tank about a week and a half ago and it has already pulled out 4 full collection cups of choc milkshake. The collection cup is 6" round by 1' tall. what you see in it now was collected in 3 days. Before i had this on the tank i had a Berlin 250<---JUNK. Sorry about the crappy pics, its a cell camera.

Mr X. MSX is not the clone to Reef Octopus. SWC (Salt Water Connection, a Canadian Company) makes MSX skimmers(which just throws a new label on them). Reef Octopus is brand name of Vue Technologies LLC (Coralvue)

I need some advice asap I need to know if the bermuda aquatics bps-3c is a good skimmer. I found a guy selling 1 for about 150 I can probably get him down a few bucks. I know it retails for atleast 300 so price wise it's pretty good. I just need to know if it's worth it. I will be starting my 1st saltwater tank with an acrylic 125 flatback hex. The guy lives about 2 hours from me but I have to go towards that direction anyway for something else work related so I need an answer asap because I don't want to take that mission again lol

Thanks guys all help will be much appreciated!

RO EXT 160 modded with BB HY-2000s

Hi guys
I just received my new Bubble Blaster to replace the Sicce on my EXT-160 and installed it today. Here are a few pics of the pump install, I'm going to install it in the sump tomorrow then I'll take some pics of it in action and post them. This is on a 120 with 30 gal sump.
