Schuran skimmer users?

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

i'm hopefully getting a 200 tomorrow and i am just looking for any users reviews and possibly tips

Rest assured that you will have no issues at all.

Easy as pie to start up just open that box giggle a lot and hug it and take it apart for the first time, and then put er back together and start the sucker up and sit back and watch it destroy the gunk in the tank.

LOL

I have a 150 and am very proud of it. I have had someone say that I have not seen an H&S running and I have seen three different units. I was quite unimpressed

I had an ETSS knock off and figured it worked just fine, to shock and awe when the 150 annihilated the system in 24 hours.

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

cool! the 200 should be good for my 210g. then ;) i'm surprised though, usually german skimmers aren't so overated, it says for up to 525g.....that can't be accurate, can it?

[MarineFiend]

Sure can my 150 is rated for 250 gallons. The best thing is wait till you get it running, you will be doing the happy dance in the living room saying "I TOLD YOU SO SUCKERS" LOL

The 250 version is rated for 1000 Gallons and man it is a beast

I've never used the schuran skimmer, so I don't really know if this applies, but on most skimmers, I like to half that rating, just to be sure.

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

nebraska.....thats what i thought, but these higher end german skimmers are usually accurate(i.e. deltec, BK, H&S)??

Anyother Users out there with experience with these?

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

its a strange design....and you can't find almost any info on these as far as reviews or opinions?

[MarineFiend]

Most of the sites are in German, and or another language. I spent lots of time trying to research and just gave up and tested for myself.

I uses the Suhran 100. Must say its potent stuff.

The trick lies in the design to their dual pass reaction chamber (the germans called it Aquaflotor design). This ensure double the reaction time-as compare to my H&S NW skimmer. As such the skimming power is awesome.

Just so you have an idea of why I say what I am saying.

This is after 72 hours on my tank.

This was the collection cup after a week of emptying but not a complete clean

Then this is the week four cleaning. Not how you can break this little unit down to small parts for a complete cleaning
