Does an awesome job!

Well whilst we are on the protein skimmer subject i was thinking og getting a red sea prizm skimmer. good or not?

Personally I cannot fault either

Aquamedic or Deltec - 2 of the best manufacturers in the Marine Ind.

Aquamedic Biostar Flotor
Deltec Mce 600

2 cracking skimmers, Mce600 may be a bit overkill, but the Aquaflotor would be spot on

Prizm's - youd be as well float the cardboard box it comes in, in the tank IMO

haha!

Well anyways i think im about to murder the maker of this RO unit NOTHING F%^&%*&$% FITS WHERE ITS SUPPOSED TO ARGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!

The tap connecter doesnt fit on any tap anywhere in the entire world by the looks of it, so i thought i try the piercing kit WTF!!! the instructions dont even tell you what to do and for the love of god i cannot see how the pipe and connector even fits on the the little piercing thing!

Lol well after all that time i finally figured it out and now its up and running! They are so slow lol.....oh well im just going to have to wait...

my 25kg bucket of salt arrived today but wheres the rest!!! argh.....slow postal service!

Thanks but i used the piercing kit what a nightmare ! it started leaking so i had to turn the water off god the stopclock (sp lol) was hard to turn, i then i to take of the kit hoping water wouldnt come spurting out everywhere, add this little seal to where the pipe was leaking and then try and get the little needle back in the hole i just made otherwise that would just be a disaster with two hole spurting water everywhere lol!

Well i managed and no leaks thank god!

hey can i ask howm uch yor unti cost? my lfs has the cheapest ro unti marked at 95$$ and im wondering if used would make a big difference cuz u might not know what your getting if u order it online

 

[BOD]

Im in the uk it was £49.99 which is less than $90 i think, its a 3 stage unit, and its pretty good for the money, its cheap i think because it only does 120 lpd, but thats enough for me seeing as I only have a 160l tank! the nest one up was £75 i think the only difference was how many litres a day they do really.
But if you buy them online they tell you the specs anyways.
I had seen this ROunit in my lfs anyways.
