have you taken a look at the sapphire aquatics skimmers made for specific AIO's?

Yes...so funny you ask because I just ordered one from Ottawa Inverts :lol:

After all the reading I have done over the past few days, it is the only one that seems to have everything I want. Its small and fits IN the back completely and is not seen. Reviews are good that it skims well...a little wet but good enough. And its silent.

Plus it's cheaper than the Tunze even with shipping.

Oh and being a recirc skimmer is kind of cool for such a small model.

You will have to let us know how much it "sucks"(skimate):mrgreen:

I will...I hope it really sucks! :lol:

Haven't been able to find a heck of a lot of info on them since this newer generation of Sapphire Skimmers hasn't been out too long but the people I talked to that do have seem to love them.

We'll see.

I guess it depends on your definition of skimming huh?.... I had an aquac remora on my 20g and I thought I was skimming:hat:...then, when I fired up the euro-reef....I found out I wasnt skimming jack!:lol:

Well yeah...I can't compare this to the last skimmer I used!

That was a $1000 skimmer and this is a $200 skimmer. Not going to compare but I think this will do for what I need. I only have 4 small fish.

Turns out the shipping on that Sapphire is ridiculous and makes it not really worth the price. I didn't quite go through with the order so I might just be back to the Tunze. LOL. At this point I think I will just stick with what I can get locally! I will see if I can negotiate a better shipping price though since I know it can't cost that much to ship across Canada.

Other than the Euro Reef, I have a feeling they are all going to preform about the same. I can't find the nano Euro Reef in Canada though and I am not interested in shipping from the States.

So many words. So few pictures of green carpet. <cough cough> <subtle hint> <cough cough> <ok maybe not so subtle> <cough cough>

Well...Your in luck.

I took some today of my clowns and carpet, I was going to post them tomorrow but if your going to be up and have a need for anemone pictures I could post a few tonight. You might like them...most are close ups :lol:

PICS! Did you say... pics? I think we all need to see them... well, maybe just one? :biggrin:

Ok...here's ONE...
