Update on my 2yr old, SC150 skimmer, post #9

Here is their current website:
SCA Protein Skimmer

I think they have the ratings on the 302 and 303 backwards.

The 302 has a smaller pump- yet they rate it at 180g,
and the 303 (formerly sc150) with a larger, more g/L/hr they rate at 150?

STILL only $129- I didn't check shipping free or not

 

That is a very wet skim! Any reason you have it set that way? I prefer a much drier skim personally.

 

No real reason.

I feel more 'WSP' water soluble proteins- get skimmed this way. It can go a little darker, but you sure can't even see an inch or two this this.

No other reason though

 

My 303 is still working great too

 

just an update also, I have the sca 150 that I bought for I believe $100 a year ago and it is still kicking some major a$$ on my 75g. For something so cheap it honestly competes with some of the more expensive skimmers I've seen. Hey, it might not be as super quiet as some of them, but it is still relatively quiet that I don't hear it unless I sit next to it and my doors are open on my stand.

I had an opportunity to upgrade to a used SRO-1000 for $120 and I decided not to because I didn't need it for my own tank, but a friend of mine got it and this competes with it very well. Although it is bulkier than the SRO, I'm still high on this particular skimmer and recommend it to anyone who needs one. Give it a try, it is worth it.
