question for anyone with deltec mc600 hob

laredo300c · 12/08/2008, 02:59 PM

ok so i was checking them out on marinedepot.com and says there that this skimmer can handle:

700liters=150 uk gallons+186 US GALLONS normal stocked
450liters=100 uk gallons=120 US GALLONS heavily stocked

don't get me wrong, i am aware that companies overrate their skimmers and that marinedepot.com is only stating company specs....but anyone out their believe that this skimmer is capable of running a tank of this size as a hob skimmer thanks

When it comes to deltec I would tend to believe the numbers.

I have a MCE600 on my 72 gal and had a MCE500 in my old 75.

Both are great skimmers and really do a good job.

Yeah I have seen one running on a 120 and it did a good job on that tank
