jervismun Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hi bros and sis... I've been asked by a bro to start a new thread to pay homage to our lovely SKIMMATE something that we reefers learned to hate (and somehow grown to love) This is NOT a protein skimmer review nor is it a thread to discuss about performance/price/distributor etc. This is a dedicated thread just for SKIMMATE LOVERS to enjoy each other's JUICES Of course it will be helpful to highlight your skimmer model and a details such as: 1) How many days worth of JUICE? 2) How thick/dillute is the JUICE? 3) How horrible it smells? 4) What's your tank capacity and stock level... etc. LET THE JUICES FLOW Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
