    SRO XP-2000 Cone Skimmer modified DC Pump

    in Classified Threads

    Posted

    Time to part with what is quite possibly the greatest skimmer I've ever owned... Why am I selling it you ask? Well, I'm doing the exact same thing I've done with this one only bigger!

     

    This has been the main piece of filtration of my 200 gallon sps system, as some of you know I've never run GFO or any other means of nutrient removal, needless to say this thing kicks out the poop, it's dead silent and once setup never needs adjustment!

     

    When I originally purchased this skimmer it was $599 then I added the $280 DC pump.

     

    Body is 8" in diameter and the footprint is 12x11x23, it'll easily fit in most any sump.

     

    $300 and that price is FIRM!

    How's $200 sound? It's in really good shape and also has the optional mounting legs if you don't want to hang it. reflectors are in great shape too.

     

    I'd say these are equally on par with the ATI Sunpower... It's also got a variety of bulbs that only have at least another 7-8 months left on them, a couple ATI blue+ and a couple Giesemann bulbs.

     

     

     

    Wow very nice do you think it would work good on my 48 x 36 x20 tank

    Depends on what you're looking to grow... I wouldn't try keeping light demanding sps corals down in the lower front or back corners but other than that it should do well...

    Questions for the sps gods

    Ding ding ding! Did things start to change after the new light install? Very well could be bleaching or just plain frying your corals. Depending on the lights and the optics used of led's.

     

    One of the best things I can stress is make ONE change at a time or you'll spend your entire reefing experience chasing your tail with very limited success.

     

    I'll post up my current feeding program when. I'm not driving lol

    You're skimmer is definitely working... While there can be a variety of things causing your problems I think you're staving your corals. I'd pick up a bottle of oyster feast, you can feel it once or twice per week, also are you using any other supplements?

     

    I think the corals are starved since eventually they're just relying on fish waste for their main food source.

     

    I feed my corals specifically once per week, mixture of things. I can help you out together a feeding program for your corals of you want. Takes me a total of about 3 min per week to feed my corals.

    Definitely not a god but I like to think I know a thing or two...

     

    I'm not a fan of running your skimmer only part time, because of the other effects it can have. Lower ph, less oxygen in the water column etc.

     

    What are you feeding your fish and your corals? Seems to me like your starving your corals.

     

    Personally I have to keep my po4 around .05-.08 but I highly suggest not to stress so much on the number and focus more on what your tank tells you. On the same note you need to know where your Mag is at.

    Thank you for the answer, I read that. Just thought you are doing anything else for maintenance. That's amazing.

     

    What is your water parametrs are?

    Did you ever dose bacterias treatment, as example Microbacter 7, FM Bakto Blend, FM Bakto Therapy or similar?

     

    I'm keeping my 90G Reef with no WC for more then two years, last 8months try to keep sps's. But I'm dosing vinegar to keep low level of PO4 and NO3.

    How often do you do the filter socks changes?

    Your fishes are amazing too. How do you keep tangs, UV sterilaser or Ozonaizer, or any other secret?

     

    Thank you!

     

    Хорошего рифа!

     

    No bacterias added of any sort, I haven't tested my tank in ages besides my Alk which usually sits about 7.5dkh, I try to increase it but the tank just soaks it up and seems to be most consistent and happy at the lower dkh so I quit trying to get it up a long time ago.

     

    No UV on the tank, a couple of the tangs had ICH outbreaks when I first got them but they eventually got over it and haven't seen a sign of ICH in ages. I don't really recommend it to anyone else but I don't qt my fish and if they get ICH I feed them heavy and let them get over it on their own. It's definitely a popular form of husbandry but it works for me...

     

    I change the socks once per week.

     

    I just noticed this but [language filter] that is a lot of wakeboards lol

     

     

    That's a very small portion of what's on the walls. I actually designed and manufactured most of those in my factory years ago. The majority are actually wakeskates.
