What did you end up getting for a skimmer?

Tom is still around, I just spoke with him last month PM me and when I find his number I will give it to you. I think he still helps out at Socaltropicalfish. For those who are equipment junkies and would like to see a Bubble King next to a ATB and actually touch it versus reading about it, socal is the place. PS I do not or have not worked there or get anything from them but great customer service that I pay for.

I ordered the JNS WS-1 about two weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Looks exactly like the warner marine but updated. What pump does it use? Looks like a sicce

JNS actually made most of the Warner Marine skimmers. (Not the K2 cone, but most of the others). They also make the Aquamaxx line.

The JNS HOB-1 is the Hang on back skimmer that looks like the Warner Marine H2 (and Aquamaxx).

The JNS WS-1 is actually a skimmer that goes in the sump or in-tank itself. Hopefully it will perform well. I haven't received the skimmer yet.

JNS WS-1 looks sweet

I'm sure it will be polished to perfection. Give us a report when you get it!

I'm going to try out a cadlights PLS100 pipeless this weekend to see what it can do. Not sure about the pump though or the tiny holes in the bubble plate. I'll report back when I get it.

Happy Reefing

I would like to know what pump they use on them, let us know!

I like my aquamaxx HOB-1. It's a design marvel of HOB and performs like a beast!
Just find an off-beat vendor and you'll be good

(well I know you already ordered JNS-WS1, but whomever will be looking after).
