Precision Marine Skimmer vs. Deltec

Ryan009 · 11/19/2006, 08:26 PM

I've been scanning the boards researching which Skimmer to use on a new 210G system.

I was planning on using a Precision Marine Bullet 3.

There seems to be alot of love for Deltec and/or Euro Reef. What's everyone's thoughts about the Bullet 3?

I looked at the bullet for my system but went with the RC500 from ER. Not many people are using the PM skimmer, but the ones I talked to seem to like it. They use different ways to skim. The PM is a beckett and the ER uses a pin weel and is a Re-Circulating skimmer. The only problem I saw with the PM is the large pump you have to use and the difficulty adjusting it.

I owned a Beckect I run a large NW. Go with the NW. Less wattage, less noise, and besides the method that air is added most modern high end NW have a much better designed body to them.

My NW skims darker wet than my Beckett ever producted skimming dry. The high end NW are just a far better design.
