What skimmer do i have?
 

Hi, I'm buying a skimmer through kijiji (with a 180 tnk), and the guy doesnt know what its make is. I see in a picture that the lid has a celtic knot: three loops inter linked as one continuose line. Anyone recognise this skimmer?:question:

EURO REEF

Euroreef, great skimmer!!:mrgreen:

Skimmer King is right... EuroReef, good brand of skimmer.

I used them, FYI, they do have a habit of the impellor magnet swelling, and then you have to spend something like $150 for a new one. If you are interested in this, just make sure you take the impellor out of the motor and inspect it for swelling or cracking of the magnet.

Or throw a ehiem on it

+1, if you can get an eheim with w mesh wheel, or mod it and make your own mesh wheel, then that would be a great pump for it. But as I stated prior, if the impellor is ok, then what comes with them are perfect as well. EuroReef just charges too much for replacement parts.

FYI, I just got a new impellor for my hydor 1000 skimmer, they made a mistake and only sent one, so another is also in the mail. My skimmer pumps are a bit noisy, so they are sending me new impellors to replace all for FREE. Only company I know that does this, so it is a great selling feature, and I will always support Hydor for that.
