    Does anyone run one?  What do you think about it?  If you did have one but no longer have it, why not?  I'm considering this skimmer ans looking for input.  Thanks!/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

    I am interested in if anyone is using their equipment. I have been looking at their recirculating biopellet reactor.

    their former name was "euroreef" and i've ran a few of their skimmers and loved them. I don't remember the model names anymore but had an insump one for my 125 that worked awesome and was very quiet. and also had a recirculating one on my 120 that was the same way. I personally thought the Sedra pumps are a great pump and quiet too. easy to maintain and clean and get adjusted.

    I can not comment thought on the reactor

    I am seriously considering these as well. Either the INS 100 or 135. I am on the fence between Reef Dynamics and the Super Reef Octopus. For the price and performance the INS 135 seems to a better choice than the SRO 1000 for my 75. My only reservations are the size of the skimmers and the noise of the pumps. I have read that the bubble boasters can be noisy. At he same time the SRO SSS is much smaller. Aaarrrggghh!/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/crazy.gif I need to make a choice soon. Maybe we can get a 2 for 1 to make our decision easier. Lol./DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif

    I've got a Euro Reed RSA 135 for sale. $190 and someone will be skimming like crazy! Like the others said, it's the same company as Reef Dynamics.

    I just talked with Jeff there and he was most helpful! I was concerned that it might not fit in my skimmer section. I told him the dimensions I had to work with and he went to measure things out. Came back and it will fit ;-0) He's going to tweak it a little for me so the pump will be easier to maintain/service and at no extra cost!! Can't ask for better service than that!! So I pulled the trigger and got the INS180E, an air flow meter, cleaning brush, etc... It'll be here next week...YAY!!!

    I tried to call a few times and just got voicemail. O well, I sure hope it will fit in my 55 gallon sump. I will try to post a few pics when it arrives!
