Anyone on here have a Vertex Omega 150 Protein Skimmer ?

Skimmer has been running great. No noise what so ever. Everything on my reef runs "whisper" quiet. Just cleaned the skimmer on Saturday and just took this pic tonight. I would recommend this skimmer to anyone! The bubbles are NOT coming from those skimmer. They are coming from an air stone with my Nitra-Guard bio-cubes.

Bought the same unit from JL Aquatics. It sounds great but have not had a chance to get it out of the box and get it up and running.

Do yourself a favour and crack that box open and get it running!!!!! You won't regret it. Amazing skimmer at an unbelievable price.

Should have mine in about a week! Def excited to try one of these out. Amazing value if they turn out to be solid pumps.

going to set mine up in my sump tonight. Looking forward to it's magic. Also adding a color module to the illumina 260. UV, red, and green all in one pad! Christmas is finally here for my reef!

You guys should love the new skimmers! Has run solid for me so far and love the performance.....don't love the frequent cleanings that are required but really who really enjoys cleaning the skimmer?!?

Chef, good luck with the new multi colour aux pads. I have 3 red and 2 UV pads in mine and love them. Have been looking at the multi colour pads but haven't committed yet. Let me know at you think of them. And also if each of the colours are controllable individually.
