Let me see what I can do for a video of it in action

Buganddoug · 09/21/2011, 07:24 PM

Here are some more nog shots. I am still tuning the skimmer in. I cleaned the cup on Monday that was two days ago.

Video to come soon.

OK update time. My old K2 skimmer would give me 4 cups of skim in four days. Now the new MF-251 is giving me 8 cups in three days. Now that is skimming. I am still tunning it in.

It it skimming great. I am getting more than twice the amount of skim over my old skimmer.

Hi, what size MF skimmer would you suggest for an SPS dominate 120g tank? My bio-load is medium with 7 fish.

Thanks,
L3

I would go with.
Model MF Kone 181, Cone design, rated up to 160 gallon tank, footprint approx. 8.5"x8.5"
OR
Model MF161, rated up to 150 gallon tank, footprint approx. 7.5"x7.5"

Bit of an older thread, but I've had this skimmer sitting in plastic wrap for two years and just dropped it in a new build. Still breaking in, but so far so good. Ultra quiet and already pulling out a ton of waste.
