Default Bubble Magus NAC-6A Skimmer

Just received this yesterday. Here's a few pics after running in water and vinegar for a while. It's currently breaking-in in an old 10 gallon tank full of used salt water. So far I am impressed. Looks very well built and it is making a nice white milky bubble mixture in the skimmer. This will be a nice improvement on my Coralife 65 More details to follow...





I also picked up this but won't be setting it up for a little while yet:



It also come with a really nice acrylic mounting stand:

Skimmer was just under CDN $140 from reefshops dot com. Took a little over a week to get here from China even with the New Year holiday in there.

Of course shipping was another $75 but that was split between the skimmer and dosing pump so basically it was under $180 all in for me.

About CDN $285. You can also buy an add on unit for another CDN $135 which adds 4 more pumps that can be controlled by the main unit. So a total of 7 controllable dosing pumps for about $420.

WHOAAA!!! Me likey!!. I'm looking at a BM cone now :P

PS, I see alot of either Knock Off's OR, the true product that we buy here, only rebadged for North American sale. eg, the SunSun Vibration Pump in the wavemakers section. Looks an awefully like a Koralia 2. AND they even say it used Hydor tech!!! So, did they copy Hydor, Or, is the Koralia's we buyu just rebadged SunSun's?
