Kent Marine Nautilus Turbo Eductor Protein Skimmer
Hello everyone, I'm actually interested in picking up this Protein Skimmer to replace the two Seaclone 100 Protein Skimmers that I initially placed on my Reef Aquarium to something stronger and basically more efficient. Has anyone ever seen these in action or have any feedback on them? I'm most likely going to attach a Mag 9 to power the unit.
i love the nautilus, we placed one in my friends tank about two weeks ago it replaced a seaclone 150. his is skimming 140 gallons. and he is pulling out about 1 inch of junk in the cup a day. it is kicking butt and taking names. its easy to control and easy to setup. its a very nice unit in my opinion. when i set my sump up that is what i am buying. but as far as i know you have to have a sump for that unit.
Well I have a wet/dry that I'm going to attempt to convert over to a sump by removing the bio-balls. I was curious in this a H.O.B. Protein Skimmer or in sump? Also what is your friend using to as a pump for his setup?
it is a in sump and i purchased the rio 2100 for it. i love this skimmer. but also the skimmer with that pump needs some room. fairly big base of the skimmer and with the hoses it just makes it bigger. i will try and get a messurment for you this tonight or this weekend so you can know how much room you will need. i would say about a 12 inch square would be comforable.. but i will messure to make sure..
not that i can think of. i would say if you have a 12x12 space to stick it in you would be ok. once you do get it i can help you adjust the water level inside of the skimmer ( if you need help ) and the air flow going into the pump we are running wide open. um lets see. oh yea if you want to do alittle test on it when you first get it. leave the seaclone on the tank with a empty clean cup and run them both side by side you will be amazed lol
Sounds like a plan. The last time I placed my seaclones within the wet/dry filter after the water fell; through the bioballs their didn't collect anything they only worked when hung off the back area of the tank. If worse comes to worse I can always get a 55 gallon rubbermaid. Cannot find the 100 gallon ones in my area and drop in live rock and repalce the wet dry to my bed reef aquarium. :-)
i ment just leave the seaclone on the back of the display tank. you dont have to. we ended up cleaning the nautilus 8 times before we had to clean the seaclone lol.. if you cant find a rubbermaid i might be able to help. ill look into that for..
i was thinking maybe drive out of town but that drive is probably a 3 hour drive lol. so i have to get a deisel filter this weekend and ill look into it for ya. i can always ship from work..
Wwest, I would definitely appreciate it you could look into the price of them and if anything I could always send you the cash and a shipping label. :-) Thanks for the help.
