needlewheel skimmer

[jun]

marco needlewheel skimmer good a not? heard the needlewheel will wear out and the replacement is difficult to find as well as the needlewheel pump....if pump spoilt veri hard to find needlewheel type too.

should i use a Venturi weipro instead? no need to worry about needlewheel wear off ..and if pump spoilt...can easily get any pumps off the shelf.

so anyone can help mi to decide? im onli considerin weipro and marco. budget.

Bro for replacement on parts for marco skimmer,u get easily get them from Bio-Ocean Aquarix/Technix under the sponsor forum..

i koe weipro is much cheaper than marco...then should i get a big weipro(bigger than required)...or a marco wif the same price as the big weipro..?

example.. with the same price... i can get a bigger capacity of weipro to a lower capacity needlewheel marco

i'm nt sure how much the macro cost but the octopus reef skimmers looks affordable too

they also have a local agent/dealer so getting a replacement shdnt be a prob.

Hi June, big doesnt mean good. cos over-skimming can also remove your mineral from the water. ( pls correct me if i am wrong) SO far in term of affordability, i think marco has serve me well for the needle wheel 350 model for a 4 ft tank Maybe when i additional cash then up-grading will also be part of the hobby la....
