anyone have this skimmer?

Coral Vue Reef Octopus Pinwheel In-Sump Skimmer


4" (Mfg# NWB110), CD-79697

I'm looking at this one for my 75 reef tank. If anyone has this one, can you please tell me if you like it. How well it works and if it's quiet.

Coral Vue Reef Octopus Pinwheel In Sump Skimmer: Aquarium Protein Skimmer

 

All reef octopus skimmers are great. Depending on how stocked your tank is, for the money, the 6" would give you a little more cushion. And if you check my thread in the sponsor section, they are on sale for cheaper than the link you provided

 

I picked the 6" 150 for my 75g. I know I'm going to be a little on the heavy side for bioload. The 150 does take up a good bit of space in the sump - make sure to take a measurement or two to be sure it'll fit.

How loud or not something is - is subjective at best. Search for videos of that skimmer in action and listen. Personally, I think it's really quiet for a skimmer but that's my take.

Good luck!

 

They make great skimmers, and have awesome reviews. The 4" will work fine for a light bio load, however if you plan on having a fair amount of fish, it would really benefit you to upgrade to the 6". Its not that much more, and if you have the space, will be worth it! I am also working on a 75 gallon display with a 40 gallon breeder sump, i decided to go with the 6" model. I cant wait to get it up and running!

 

I had the 4" on my old 90 and wish i would have went bigger. It was a great skimmer , I just messed up by trying to save a few bucks. Go with the 6" and you should be good.

Also I hear that the newer bubble blaster pumps are amazing, if you can find one with that and stay in budget , you may want to go that route.
