Have you used a Euro-reef skimmer?

Did anyone ever use a Euro-reef skimmer?

I just got one and it works great! I love it! There is some other copycat brand that people talk about that is cheaper and works the same, but I am not sure what it is called.

I have used an Euro-reef for over two years and love it. It is plug and play,and it works great. I can honestly say I noticed a difference in my tank with this product. It is also easy to clean, and never needs and adjustments. The only drawback is you need a sump, and it has a fairly large foot print, if you already have one then your should be set.

Yup, I've used one for 5+ years...their very good skimmers but be ready for the worst customer service you've ever seen. I don't recommend thier skimmers, I think they are way over priced and if you have problems your petty much screwed.
BTW, you don't need a sump to run the Recic models.
I want to remind everybody that ER is the "copycat" skimmer. They took the design from another builder a long time ago. That said, I just setup a Geo recirc skimmer that is very close to the ER 8-3 recirc model. Its much better built and cost a lot less.
If you ever manage to get a live person at ER make sure you get your boots on cause its going to get DEEP..........real deep.
