Or any other skimmer with the price and performance like MACRO in the market?

My tank size is 4 X 2 X 2.5 ft.

Appreciate the advice .... THANKS

They dun call it Macro anymore...now the brand is called Dymax. Dymax pump is so so....very noisy...after a while lots of vibration.

Another skimmer brand you can look for is Reef Octopus and BM (Bubble Magus) which Jiireh Marine carries.

Weipro 2014...china brand..around $70plus but w/o pump...so if you add an aquabee or ehiem pump, $200 plus altogether.

SKIMZ SM150 selling for $588 at aquamarine.

& BM (insump model) cheapest selling for $ 269 at j ireh.

Wow so expensive cant afford to pay so much money.

You cannot judge based on price alone....if you get a weipro 2011...you need a powerful pump to drive it...in the end..it cost you close to $200 with the pump...and BM is using needlewheel...much more effective than venturi models.

SKIMZ is expensive as it has its reasons...aquabee needlewheel pump and quality solid acylic material.

Dymax is not too bad...but i will not use their pump...if use ehiem or aquabee to drive it will be much better....(speaking from experience)

Dymax pump is way too noisy and too much vibration.

get reef octopus. think below 150 can get, for 2nd hand.

or get 2nd hand beckett.

Reef Octopus looks good & not too expensive..there is even an External Type (DNW series) but requires extra feed pump.

But i didn't find many reviews of ppl who have used it!

Has any of you brothers used this skimmer?
