Hi there,

I have recently set up a 240 litre (63 gallon) aquarium and I am trying to search for an appropriate protein skimmer. As I am converting a Juwel 240 tank, I do not have the room for a sump so would prefer an external protein skimmer. I have tossed between various options but I have settled for:

Either:

-Deltec MCE 400
-Deltec MCE 600
-Aqua One Marisys 240 Advance

I have heard nothing but positive things about the Deltec systems, and as they are not cheap, I hope that I get some great skimming results.

As for the Aqua One, I have heard pretty shocking things from people but am interested to see your views as to how the Aqua One stack up with the Deltec.

So, what are your thoughts? And, between the Deltec 400 or 600, what would you choose?

Thanks heaps in advance! :wave:
Matt

i have deltec MCE 600 on my 65G sps dominated reef. great skimmer i must say, well its the one and only skimmer i've used before but i do get very dark brown to almost black skimmate. especially if i run dry. usually get brown if i run wet skimmate.
