Hog Head Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I was looking at either a Reef Octopus or PCI recirculating skimmer for the new tank until I started reading about the SWC extreme cone skimmers. Any opinions or experience with these skimmers out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Although I have never owned an SWC I have seen them in action and they are sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Although I have never owned an SWC I have seen them in action and they are sweet! Dont know if I will ever own anything else-its taken 5 brands before I landed with SWC but it rocks and its the old 200 with the sicce pump. The new tank will sport the 250A extreme cone with the askoll pump. Super reef octopus rock as well with the bubble blaster pump- I have not been impressed with PCI-its one of the 5 brands I have "tried" and it to was a recirc.-junk in comparison to RO and SWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Impur has a SWC cone, it's sweet! You might also look into a Skimz Kone skimmer. Clay got one from the may meeting and he really likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayTheSavageFraser Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I just put a E.T.S.S. commercial skimmer on my system!! It's AAAAAWWWESOME!!!! LOVE IT!!!!! It's rated for a way bigger system than mine, yet it is plankton friendly and my corals couldn't be happier!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocboat Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 You will love the 250A cone. It is built like a tank and the askoll pump is basically silent. It is a little too big for my 180 but I haven't found anything that I'd rather have.

Any opinions or experience with these skimmers out there? I think i showed you my skimmer briefly, i have the SWC 160 cone. I have a 2nd one in a box for my next tank if you want to come over and check it out more closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
