Deltec MCE600

[Doug]

Thanks guys. I thought I remember you owning one Andy. It runs on our frag tank. Correct?

Ruth, by dialed in, I assume you mean the amount of air to the needle wheel? How loud is the air intake?

Hi Doug

Ruth is now the proud owner of my Deltec hangon skimmer. I added a sump to my growout tank so I opted for an in sump skimmer. I always ran the skimmer air intake wide open. It is dead silent if kept clean. The only "dialing in" is the level of the collection cup which controls the skimmate consistency.

Yea what Andy said.

I've got one as well and you can't beat it in terms of noise and estetics. As for performance, I've only had it one month and am still trying to dial it in correctly.

I've also owned the Remora Pro w/Mag 5 which I found wasn't very good as well as the CSS 220g which I thought performed awesome, but the estetics (pump hanging in the tank) were issues with me.

I am thinking of getting this skimmer as well, but I am scared of the price!! whooah I will have to sell some frags.

Lots of stuff, just have not fragged the colonies yet. I will be posting them soon. Probably this week.

I guess you ordered the skimmer from Deltec directly? If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost shipped? Do I even wanna ask??? hehe

Yes, thats a large reason for looking at this model. Nothing in the tank.
