Overall - I am happy with my purchase.

ranran · 08/05/2007, 06:14 PM

Here is a nog update. This is from 60 hours of skimming not even three days worth.

ranran · 08/05/2007, 06:18 PM

The only thing i would like to tweak is that my oringinal sump design was for my beckett skimmer. That i feed with a external pump via a bulkhead.
The reeffloe i am using a pump that just sits in my sump and as the water level drops so does the level in the skimmer. If I new that this was going to be my skimmer when I built the sump. i would of have had a baffle to keep the water level the same were the feed pump sits.
Or i need to set up an ATO.

wizsmaster · 08/05/2007, 07:33 PM

ATO!

Hutch75 · 08/05/2007, 07:42 PM

What has everyone paid for the Orca 250. I found one for 1450.00 shipped on ebay is that a good deal. All the other sites I have seen them at are like 1500 plus shipping.

$1,299 while supply lasts.

Hutch75 · 08/05/2007, 08:55 PM

they said shipping was going to be almost 200

ranran · 08/05/2007, 08:57 PM

I paid $65.00 for shipping with PA I had them send it aircargo. and i got it overnight.

wizsmaster · 08/05/2007, 09:05 PM

wow .. i paid ... $50 for shipping i think ... to FL .. arrived in 2 or 3 days.

Hutch75 · 08/05/2007, 09:08 PM

Well I went ahead and bought the one from ebay.

wizsmaster · 08/05/2007, 09:11 PM

looks like someone made a quick $100 bucks then... and it wasn't you.

As long as you are located here in the US, then shipping shouldn't have been more than $50 - $75, just depending on your location. If you are international then the shipping fee will most certainly go up.

Good news on pricing as well, we are going to extend the $1299 intro price until the end of September!

Tagareef · 08/06/2007, 10:45 AM

I knew something was fishy about Hutch75...3 posts and moved on!!!

Jeremy,

That's great news about the intro price. This may be enough reason for njb2345 (Nick) to buy his 3rd Reeflo!!!

Today is one month with this skimmer and it hasn't slowed down yet. I am amazed at how consistent this skimmer is. It truly is "set it and forget it". I really haven't messed with it since day one. The cup requires cleaning every 3 days...it will be almost full on day 4.

This skimmer pretty much puts my previous skimmers to shame!

For all you skimmer lovers out there -would this skimmer be too much for a 120~130g total water volume tank?

This would be for an eventual heavily stocked sps with fish system

This skimmer would be overkill. wait for the smaller sequence skimmer to become available. It looks like it will be just as good.

raddogz · 08/06/2007, 12:41 PM

Hmmm...that's what I thought.

Thanks!

The prototype of this skimmer should be here in the next 4-5wks or so. Once it is available I will start updating on it, but it's a scaled down version of the Reeflo 250.

sounds good jeremy i might have to place an order when you know more...

lvpd186 · 08/06/2007, 02:41 PM

This skimmer looks like a beast, it also kind of reminds me of a smaller version of Spaz's volcano skimmer. I would be interested to see the water flow pattern so to speak. I understand that the water enters the box right by the input of the pump. Is there something in the box to prevent it from leaving the skimmer prior to being processed, since it looks like the water drains from the same box? I'm looking forward to seeing the smaller version as well.

If you don't mind me asking, what is it that you are refering to?

I think construction wise, it's very clean.
Performance wise, pretty good so far.
Engeneering wise .. a few changes i'd make in future revisions:
1. Twist neck
2. Drain in box
3. Removable bubble difuser for easy cleaning of box

4. PVC skimmer cup lid. We all have accidents and the pvc will hold up much better when dropped.

On another note, this is really starting to pull some NASTY sludge out of my tank. This skimmer is awesome!

chetm2 · 08/06/2007, 09:15 PM

Looks like mines going to be here friday, now I just have to figure out how to fit it in my already packed stand. That's a good problem to have

Forgot to mention that shipping to AZ was around $57 so unless your in russia I don't know where he got $100

ranran · 08/06/2007, 09:37 PM

I think he was just self promoting his own auction.

wizsmaster · 08/07/2007, 09:43 AM

thats what i was thinking as well.
