Does anyone have any opinions on the AquaC EV-180 Protein Skimmer?
Here are the specs.
# Tank Size: 60-200 gallons
# Recommended pumps: Mag Drive 7 or Rio 3100
# Height: 20"
# Footprint: 6.0" x 9.2"
# Foam tower volume: 135 cubic inches
# Flexible design for in-sump applications
# For in sump use only
# Can be used with the Auto Waste Collector
# Designed to run in sumps WITHOUT BEING RAISED. The output gate valve has been increased to a height of 10", which means that as long as your sump level is 9" or lower you will not need to worry about fluctuations having an impact on skimming consistency.
# The addition of a precision ball valve for airflow control allows the aquarist to fine tune the skimmer`s output. Unlike most other high performance skimmers in this class, the EV is remarkably silent. The spray injection system does not generate the sucking noises typical of venturi and Beckett units.
# The improved "Twist-Lock" collection cup and cap makes for a secure, flanged connection without the need for set screws or other locking type unions. Simply twist to crack the seal (EPDM gaskets) and removal requires a scant 1/4" clearance.
# Increased contact time = more protein removal. The size of the mixing box has been increased on all models by approximately 40%. To accommodate the extra foam the skimmers now feature taller and wider reaction towers, as well.
