Aquamaxx Cone S skimmer
Hey all! I'm looking in to getting an Aquamaxx ConeS skimmer for my 80 gallon reef. Does anyone have opinions (good and bad) on one? Is it easy to adjust?
I currently have a Skimz and I hate it! It is nearly impossible to adjust. Any input is greatly appreciated!! Thank you

Is this the one that looks like a rocket with the pump underneath and in the open as well?

I have a ConeS CO-1. It works fine, took a while to break in before it started working fine which I understand is normal. The collector cup is small and I would choose a skimmer with the pump outside the body if I were to replace it.

The ConeS Q-3 has been a great performer for me!

The Bubble Magus 7 was my other option. Now someone is telling me to go with a Red Sea RSK300. I’m so confused

All three look pretty similar. I'm betting they all work similarly. Choose one that meets your budget and call it good.

I am confused

First What dimensions are you working with? Helps with an inside pump or external pump. Second. Depth of water in the sump. Eliminates certain brands. Third. Budget Bubble King or Simplicity both good one is more expensive. Fourth. There is a perfect skimmer for all of above. |

Thank you for all the advice! I ended up with the RedSea which is more than what I need but I needed a skimmer asap as I wanted to start carbon dosing. Fingers crossed
