Vertex 180 - great skimmer for a great price!

[j83]

Just thought I would share that I picked up a Vertex 180 Skimmer from J&L last week and so far it has been great. Super simple, placed it in my sump, dialed it in and it is working like a charm.

The only previous skimmer experience I have is with an AquaC Ev120 and a *cough*sea clone*cough* The AquaC has been great but seems a tad small for my tank.

The Vertex seems well made (I'm sure not as well made as a Bubble King, but still pretty solid) and is a great price. I have read that the pumps don't have a great reputation but apparently these are a newer, seemingly better made Resun pump(s) and so far it seems to be working great. Worse comes to worse, another pump could probably be adapted to fit the skimmer.

Anyways, for the price - a great skimmer!

Cheers,

Jay
