These skimmers are on “fire” sale! lol wassup with that Deltec? The base has been cut?

lol - then I got a steal…deal! Ha Anyway, it’s outrageously expensive though. Regardless, having owned glass tanks for many years, nothing can beat the clarity of acrylics. Yes, they do scratch easily but you can buff it out. The only reason I’m upgrading (once I have free time) is because I...

I do like the idea of swapping out the pump and ease of maintenance. still on a search for a Vertex Alpha 300 or SRO 3000/5000. The SRO 8000 doesn’t fit my sump

Interesting. This is why 99.9% of reefing world moved from venturi to needle wheel? LifeReef thinks otherwise — lol
