Deltec Vs. GEO Needle Wheel Skimmer?

GEO is so much cheaper!

Have not heard any comments on GEO's skimmer, is this as good as Deltec?

I don't really know about deltec, but I do have a GEO. I have about 180 gallons in my system and the Geo is great. It skims like crazy. I remember the week that I put it on, the color of my water went crystal clear and I didn't even notice that it wasn't before.
That thing skims some of the nastiest skimmate I have seen. It is terribly simple to install and run. Very little adjustment needed. Worth twice what it costs.

Can't forget the workmanship is better than anything I have seen on the market and George is greta when it comes to support.

now that eheim has announced they will have a needlewheel pump as an off-the-shelf item, geo is gonna get overloaded with people wanting skimmers from him....

Very true! As if he wasn't busy already.

I wouldn't hesitate to have him build me a skimmer with the Eheim pinwheel pump on it when it becomes available and if his time allows him to.

George's entire product line is top notch as far as build quality goes. Plus he's one of the nicest guys I have ever dealt with in this hobby.

I agree, George is one of a kind! I was the proud owner of his very 1st commercially made calcium reactor!! A little something I love to brag about every now and then
