sharronpaul Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Okay, We've kept tropicals for years, now moving into a marine setup. We're looking at around 300-500Ltr (depending on how much I can sweet-talk the wife ) with a recirculating sump. So, my question is, which one of these three skimmers have people used, and which one is the better one? These three are all I can source from our wholesaler :-? . They are (in no particular order....) Rio Queen TS2000 Via Aqua MSD-1 Via Aqua AF-1300A Queen SK200 Look forward to your reccomendations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskisteve Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Oh dear what a choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharronpaul Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 It pains me, I know. Essentially we're looking for something under the $200 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelers Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I think I have a Via Aqua SK200, it used to be on briananemones coral tank, but he hasnt posted for a long while. He had SPS, so it must have been ok but be might have had another skimmer that I wasnt aware of...? Perhaps others can remember. I'd be fairly sure you shouldnt get the RQ TS2000, have you looked at the weirpro 2014? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 738306.htm I have both the sk200 and weipro 2014 but I havent set up my tank so I cant tell you which is better - for whats its worth I did try the weipro once, and it got gunk out straight away, although it was watery but still, it hadnt had anytime to "run in".

chimera Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Essentially we're looking for something under the $200 mark. in all honesty, you would be better off going skimmerless and spend the $200 elsewhere. you'd be wasting your time and money otherwise.

HelifaxNZ Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Get a second hand skimmer from Jetsteve. He's got an Aquamedic which is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
