Nautilus skimmer

corals b 4 bills · 02/11/2006, 01:26 AM

I have a nautilus ex skimmer driven by a mag 12, it works O.K. but it does'nt seem to produce fine bubbles like other skimmers I've owned, anyone have any experience with this skimmer? or can I soop this one up?

try to adjust the water level. My work (The Barrier Reef) used those exact models and they get pretty grungy. Remember the tube of the cup is what provides efficiency so make sure you clean it regularly and use that as a judge of efficiency.

they work ok if you get the flow rate high enough through the chamber, but other than that, i dont like em one bit- too many problems and way overpriced.
