I'm debating between the Sca-301 or the Sca-302.... the 301 is rated for up to 65 gallons and the 302 is rated up to 180... but my total water volume is like 90-100

Definitely the 302 then. My tank is about 100 gallons total water volume and I run a skimmer rated for 180. I had one for 100 and it never pulled out the gunk this one does...

anybody know where they sell this locally in orange county? i dont want to pay $7 to have it shipped from marine depot

I'm sure Socal Tropical and Coral Gazers both have it. Contact them to make sure though. Also, as mentioned above, you can do MD will call, but that can be a pain as they make you call 2 hours in advance and then usually wait even more when you get there. Plus, I much prefer to support the LFS over the big guys....

Nik, what's the update? Still working well? I am considering trying this to just polish off the last bit of my cyano...

Yeah Coral Gazers stock it.

I am using the Clear FX Pro which is basically the same thing and its not really doing much in my opinion. But I'm lazy so no reactors right now for me...

 

[Skidazl]

No reactors for me either, where do you have it placed at Cody? I was planning on putting it in between the baffles in my sump, right in front of the mj1200 mod I use to keep the detritus suspended...

Where my drain enters the sump near my protein skimme. According to the manufacturer its should be after your other filtration in an area of higher flow. Best I could do. Baffles sounds fine but mine are thin and I can't really wedge anything between them.

I was happy it definitely helped with phosphates and with the Cyano....
My phosphates were getting high and this helped scale them back and let me get the tank back under control...
I actually took it out about a week or 2 ago and need to get a new one

Isn't it supposed to last 4-6 months? Why did you take it out?

I was thinking right under the drain, too, but then you mentioned they suggested right before the return pump, so I think if it fits between the baffles, which are about 2-3" apart and I only have one, that could be the ideal spot....

Definitely bull $hit! I had all sorts of green algae on my wall a week after I added it. I still have it in my sump but it's a bunch of bull crappy

Thats because you have filthy water. Have our tank of the millinium guy come over and show you how its done.

It does seem every time you add something new to your tank, it does foul it up more. Must be something to that...

Wait for it......
