Product Review: http://www.3reef.com/forums/protein-skimmers/bubble-magus-nac6-skimmer-unboxed-77380.html NAC 6 looks nice! However, the pump in the pictures says 45.5 watt. its a bit on the high side though? Thinking should i get NAC 6 or NAC7. Thanks tunicate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted February 6, 2012 SRC Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2012 NAC 6 looks nice! However, the pump in the pictures says 45.5 watt. its a bit on the high side though? Thinking should i get NAC 6 or NAC7. Thanks tunicate! That two model is a little bit under size for your tank size i feel, and the pump is a pump from china as well which explain why for the high power watt. Maybe you want to consider paying a little bit more for bigger model of the skimmer or getting a second hand from pasa malam section. Happy hunting.
