Wamt to know people's current opinion?
I like the new RO Elite series but I'm not completely sold on the benefits of a DC skimmer.
Also really like the Aquamaxx Co-2&3 When you say the new ones do you mean the blue Aquamaxx? ConeS?

My dream skimmer is one that will not stop skimming after feeding PE Mysis(Maybe this stuff is just too filthy). Silent and draw 5W of power but big enough to keep up with a 500gallon with 200 fish in the tank. Yet, you can use it in a small tank of 20gallon. Self clean is a must. Hey, you did say a dream skimmer.
More realistically, I would love to see a bigger version of my Vertex Omega 150. This skimmer is rated for 150gallon but it's working awesome in my 200gallon set up. They make 180 and 200 but those are such small upgrade that I don't think it will be a benefit for me to upgrade to. I would love to an Omega skimmer that's rated up to 500gallons. I would upgrade it in a heartbeat.
Love your first skimmer ideas! LolMy dream skimmer is one that will not stop skimming after feeding PE Mysis(Maybe this stuff is just too filthy).

The Omega 130 is on sale for 250$ I've been contemplating that one for a while. But that again brings me back to do I want a really big skimmer or smaller skimmer of great quality?The ConeS CO2 & CO3 as you mentioned were what I meant. I guess they were't in the US Until recent? At least that's what my rep from Marine Depot told me, but I cannot confirm it's accurate.
You never know, that may very well be plausible!
And yes Vertex are awesome! I can 2nd that. They're just too far out of my price range for skimmers as I don't have that type of wallet. But if I did, they'd certainly be a quick choice!
Vertex Alpha 250 looks like a beast!!??My dream skimmer is one that will not stop skimming after feeding PE Mysis(Maybe this stuff is just too filthy).

I just bought the Omega 150... I have to say it did have a little to do with seeing your tank video earlier! You must be doing some things right for sure.I've been eyeing on that but I heard mix statement on where it is being built and mix review with it. I'm having luck with the Omega line and would like to stay with it.

The ConeS (may also be named Co-1,2&3?) and the older Co line are different. The ConeS are the blue ones and the Co series are the white and yellow with the little cones on the bubble plate.
To small! That what they use to skim the ocean?This one My vote really just goes to any skimmer running a Sicce. Those pumps are the best. I love everything they make.
I see ReefStarters post, and I raise him this photo:
I should get one for my Pico!JasonandSarah; said:To small! That what they use to skim the ocean?
