My SC-302 is still going strong after 3 years of use. Still original pump and impeller. It's still running quiet.
Haven't really had to make adjustments, unless I want dryer or wetter skimmate. Maintenance has been: Unplug, remove cup, clean cup, reinstall cup and plug back in. Maybe once or twice a year, take apart completely and clean, re-assemble and plug in.

Been running mine for a few years now and have just developed a problem: The pump won't restart on its own anymore. I have to loosen the impeller cover to get it going.

Those are it and they are amazing. I have one on each of my tanks. The are a BubbleMag knock off and work like crazy. I bought one for $70 used and the other for $50. This is going on 4 years ago now and still pull crap out like they are brand new. Well worth the money. Get one, you'll be happy that you did.
Each of my tanks use a 20L sump. One tank is a 30L (48x12x12) and the other is a custom 45g I built myself (40x24x12). |

Been running this skimmer for a few months now on my new 90 gallon, which is very heavy stocked.
Having a hard time with consistency. When I run it a little dry, I get almost nothing in the cup, with a ton of sludge build up. Its working well, just needs a lot of cleaning. If I run it a little wet, its great, but have overflows fairly often. The settings are just over 3 -3.5. In in about 8.25-8.5 of water. Any suggestions? Also, what is the diameter of the large cup vs. the standard cup? |
