Aquamaxx Cone vs Cone S skimmers

[herbklee]

What's the difference?
is one better than the other?
Looking for a CO-2 model for a 83gal DT + 31 gal sump.

Cones CO1 should be enough for your tank. Main thing I see is the S is a space saver with the pump underneath and has those cool jet nozzles on the bubble plate.

ive been wanting to know the same thing. from what I've read, the S is the newer model and uses less air intake than the normal cone series. Both are very quiet. I haven't heard too many bad reviews from either skimmer.

I recently got the ConeS Co-1 for my 75 gallon tank...
I'd reccomend the ConeS Co-1 its rated for up to 175 gallons!!


I will back that skimmer any day!!! This thing is a beast!!!
It has a very small foot print with the pump being underneath as well as it's height(19.5")
Its super easy to put together and comes completely apart! The collection cup removes from the body with less than inch needed to remove! It has the cone bubble plate.

Here's a pic of how well this skimmer did... Mind you its only been installed on my tank for 7 days!!

Also it uses a Sicce Pump which I've heard are very reliable and a top shelf product.

If you have any questions let me know!

I have a CO3 on my 135+40 sump. About 135 total water.

thanks nik that's the type of review I was hoping for. im thinking of going overkill with a co-3 for my 150g setup

 

[herbklee]

why the price difference?
It seems the Cone skimmers are more expensive than the Cone S.
it seems the Cone has a higher tank rating than the Cone S.

Is the Cone S bubble plate harder to maintain/clean?

Personally I'd save the 70 bucks and just get the Co-2 its rated up to 350 gallons...

Unless you are going to buy the Co-3 today(before midnight) and use the marine depot coupon code for 10% off then go ahead and get the Co-3

I haven't had to clean it yet. But it doesn't look like it will be an issue.

Just read the conclusion unless you feel like reading the whole thing http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2010/1/aafeature

I didn't take much from the article except it tested each skimmer for a few hours a day without fish waste. They just "fed" the tank and used those measurements. IMO there are more variables than to just skimming a small tank a few hours a day

cone 2 is the best skimmer I've ever owned
