Current Fisson Skimmers?

ZC · 11/17/2007, 12:25 AM

Anyone have any experience with the current brand fisson skimmers or the recirc skimmers?

I know the nano fisson skimmers are just about worthless, but was wondering if anyone has experience or knows anyone who has. The price is very tempting...... prolly will end up going with an octo skimmer, but just thought I would ask.

i was also wondering about the new current fission power skimmers at drsfostersmith.com. i was leaning towards a euroreef blem rs80 or maybe an octo if the rs80 pump proves to be too loud. the price on the fission is tempting though.

any one else?????? Surely someone out there has tried these skimmers by now....?

i had heard only negative speculation from people. mostly citing the current fission nano as the reason. i just picked up a used ER rs80, which for the price, wouldnt possibly compare to the fisison.

Yeah I would imagine that everyone is not buying these based off of the poor performance of the fisson nano skimmer. But I guess i'll keep looking around. Like I said i'll prolly end up going with the Octo NW200 anyways.

i was looking at an octo nw110, then found a good deal on the rs80. id just go with the octo, those things are really good.
