Would this be an appropriate size skimmer for a heavily stocked 90 gallon mixed reef

It would be a very consistent skimmer on that size display and would be a very good choice!

Thanks for the reply.

I have one, once it's dialed in (not hard to do), it's so darn consistent it's almost boring. It's on an 72g DT/90 total.

Does anyone know where I could purchase one of these in Canada?

slief · 10/04/2016, 06:26 PM

Unfortunately I am not aware of any dealers in Canada who stock these. Your best bet would be to order one through Premium Aquatics or Aquarium Specialty. Premium may have some in route. I don't recall. I am not sure if AS has any right now. I know Premium ships to Canada all the time and I think AS does as well.

OK was trying to avoid all that, duties etc. Are a killer.what would be warranty and how would one go about warranty in Canada if purchased from a u.s. Retailer.

slief · 10/04/2016, 07:57 PM

Warranty is 12 months. We handle the warranty directly and make it pretty painless but I do understand the duty issue with Canada. Keep in mind that resellers also have the issue with duties. If you have somebody in the states near the border, it could always be shipped to that address and you could drive it across the border.

Ok never thought of that, there is still that damn exchange rate lol. Something to ponder. Thanks for all your help.

Is this too much skimmer for a 60?

It would work on a 60 gallon display. The smallest tank I would suggest that skimmer for would be a heavily stocked 50 gallon. On a 60 gallon display you could have a pretty heavy load.

OK. Its a 60 display with 7 fish now (2 clowns, kole, flame, 3 chromis) and I want to add more if the others will let me. Its a SPS exclusive Zeo tank. Its skimming OK now but the tank is still new. Nutrients are really low so its a little inconsistent and will only work well when I skim wet. I feed the fish several times a day. Thanks.
