DAS Skimmer or Pacific Coast?

[hipertec]

Looking to upgrade my skimmer. Been looking at the DAS or the Pacific Coast recirc skimmers?
Any comments? are any better then the other?
Where can I get the best price for these guys?

I didn't know they still sold DAS skimmers in the US.

I had the 2 pump in sump model on my old 135 and it worked out fantasically.

I saw on another thread that these skimmers are older deltec clones with OEM Aquabees. Is this true? Any info would be great.

I think so....at least that's how I remember it.
Do those skimmers come with a warranty? Any support??

That is my only concern.
As I said, I had the BX-2 and it was very good.
AS for the Pacific coast....I have read they are not as good as the Reef octopus line.....but I have no first hand experience.

Pacific Coast is an importer. Theyre the same skimmer.

Just make sure you look at the
NW110/PS1000
NW150/PS2000
NW200/PS3000

and not the line that looks like knockoff super skimmers.

I had the BX-1 and it worked out GREAT, great little skimmer. I have a BX-2 that i switched out for an ASM g-3 because I could not get anough air into the skimmer......way too much turbulance/water
