I've just ordered the double cone 180 with the rd3 speedy. I'm interested to know what positive effects the upgraded pump has on this skimmer. I was restricted to this skimmer because of size and just hope it can handle my 500 litre sps system?

I have yet to run an RD3 Speedy powered skimmer, or a Double Cone at that, so I'm not going to be much help until we get our first ones in here.

My system is about 570L and is heavily stocked (IMO), I have the Double Cone 200 with the RD3 Speedy pump. I am currently running it at 1/2 power with the wedge cut in a little. I'm sure I could have ran just as well with the 180 but dicided to go larger in case I upgrade my tank someday. Here is a live feed (you may need to check back later if it isn't working): http://www.ustream.tv/channel/higgyreef

Looks the skimmer is running really well, thanks for sharing!

Better view today, (Bubble King Double Cone 200 with Reef Dragon 3 Speedy Pump).
Check back later if the video crapped out... Sorry about the 15 second add at the start...
Looks like it just shut down, I love computers! I'll get it running later tonight, sorry...

Jeremy,

What is the price going to be for the 200 DK with RD3 pump? What does availability look like ? My time frame is end of June beginning of July. I think I need the 200 over the 180 because I will be running a 120g with 30g sump (actual water) heavy bio-load and SPS dominate tank. What do you think?

Thanks

Jeremy B. · 05/17/2013, 09:06 AM

As soon as they land I will have pricing on them, probably a week and a half from now. I would suggest sticking with the 180 (7" body), instead of the 200 (8" body). An 8" body on a tank that is under 160ish gallons display wise is just too much in my opinion.

Pseudo69 · 05/17/2013, 03:36 PM

The 180 says good for tanks up to 500L which is 132g. Will it be able to handle the load?

Jeremy B. · 05/20/2013, 07:14 AM

Yes, the 180 will go up to 160g or so with no problem at all, that's with a heavy load.

Jeremy - I would like to buy a 180 with a RD3 Speedy pump. Please keep us posted. Am ready to place the order.

Thanks

John
