AquaMaxx ConeS CO-1 Protein Skimmer
As early as Wednesday this week, as late as next week. More than 1/3 are already reserved for other hobbyists so you may want to sign up to be notified when they arrive if you aren't already. We BELIEVE we brought in enough inventory to get through the holidays, but it's hard to tell with this new series because we keep selling out immediately after they arrive!

Okay I have a 180 mostly heavily stock SPS and some LPS with many fish. The skimmer I am using is way to big for my system. What Cone S would you say I should use. Or do you think I would be better off with another brand?

thanks I prefer the CO-1 since it's more compact but will an 8" sump depth be ok? I desgined my sump with an 8" baffle
the specs state 9.5" water level |

I currently own a Skimz 161and that thing is a monster in my 120 galllon system, I absolutely love it. I am currently in the market for another skimmer to drop in a similar setup. How does the Aquamaxx cone 2 compare in performance to the skimz 161?
Thanks! |

NOW IN STOCK: AquaMaxx ConeS CO-2 and CO-3 Protein Skimmers

The CO-2 does include the innovative bubble plate making for increased contact time and utilizes the Sicce brand name pump which are some extra benefits. For these reasons, I believe the CO-2 would be a great alternative for your aquarium and should perform similar if not better than your current skimmer. |

In reality, the skimmers are quite similar. The main differences are the upgraded bubble plate included on the ConeS series and the addition of a handle on the collection cup. Otherwise, they are pretty much identical. I have used both skimmers on my own aquarium and was impressed with both the quality of the construction and performance. I think you will be happy no matter which option you choose. -Robert F. |

I know it depends on the system and it could also be due to the fact that I transferred over all of my rock and corals from a holding tank and did a 100% water change. |

Robert, I purchased a ConeS-1 from you guys recently and have it set up in 9.5" of water in the sump. The silencer is partially submerged (the bottom part) and it keeps getting water in it which in turn makes an annoying bubbling sound. Any suggestions?

Skimate production is based around your organic waste levels and it does make sense you experienced less skimate collection immediately after a large water change. |

The best operating level will be just above the outlet and below the air silencer bracket. This does not leave much room for changing water levels, however, if you keep the level just above the outlet and below the silencer bracket, you should not have any problems. You might also try tightening the screw that holds the silencer in place to help deter water from entering the silencer. |

Since I built the sump with the 9.5 inch skimmer chamber I'm thinking I'll just raise the skimmer slightly with something underneath.
