Hello,
My Nyos Quantum 220 protein skimmer needs a replacment pump but I cant find the Quantum 5.0 pump out there do you know if they replaced the Quantum 5.0 pump with the viper 5.0?
Only used a few months, zero issues. I got out of the hobby due to time. Picture was taken right after pulling it out of the sump. Haven't even cleaned it yet as it was used that little. It worked incredibly well! 350 plus shipping, located in lugoff SC
My first reef tank of 135 gallons, together with the sump will be about 165 gallons of water. I am now trying to choose a skimmer for me. I really like the Nyos and I choose between 220 and 160 models. Some say that more is better, others say that if the load is small, it is better to choose a...
I’m hoping there are some smart electronic engineering people here that might be able to tell me if I need a relay for this level sensor or can I plug it straight in the apex breakout box. If I do need a relay I’ll need help choosing one and setting it up.
It's time to announce something cool happening here at WWC!

Last night I installed a new NYOS Quantum 120 protien skimmer in my tank. Everything seemed to be working fine, but when I touched the water today, I got an electric shock!
I live in the UK and used the EU-to-UK adapter included (see photo). I tried reversing the EU plug and it stopped...
Hi all, I'll be setting up my RSR 350 either tomorrow or the following day and moving over my FOWLR RSR 250. I currently have 8 fish (Hippo Tang, Yellow Tang, 2 Clown Fish, 2 Bannngai Cardinals, 1 Flame Angel and 1 Yellow Watchman Goby. I plan on adding more fish in the future. I'm currently...
Partial part out taking place. Please don’t ask about equipment, scroll down to see what is currently available! Thanks!
Listing a complete setup, tank has a few scratches on the glass and a couple on the stand as well. Overall it is in what I would call good condition. Would like to see the...
Selling my used Nyos Quantum 160 protein skimmer. It always worked flawless, silent as can be, skimmed great and isn't overly picky on water level in sump. I have owned both the 120 and 160... best skimmers I have ever owned. $375 shipped to the continental USA.

I'm really struggling to pick a skimmer for my new system (120 gal total water volume).
I've never had an in-sump skimmer before. I'm currently running a HOB skimmer on my 40 gal tank.
I've been reading as many reviews as I can but still question which features are most important plus when...
I previously posted about a skimmer i was returning but now I want to hear about what other people have experienced with the skimmers I am looking into. I have a Red Sea 750xxl (160g Display) equipped with a Trigger Triton44 sump that has a skimmer section which is 9.5" x 15.5". The tank is...
I’ve never made a build thread. Figured I’d give it a shot. I currently have a 105g DSA tank and have tangs and a trigger that are outgrowing it. I purchased a 140g tank that has been floating around a few local members and was never set back up. Tank is 60x30x18 and the fish should like it...
Hello all
I'm sure this topic has been discussed already, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere.
Has anybody ever noticed how the Nyos skimmer (Quantum 120 in my case) lid produces an immense amount of vibration noise when it's on a certain position? Obviously plastic sitting on plastic...
Trickman2's - 280 Gallon Upgrade
It is finally time after 16 years I am upgrading my 90 gallon tank to a 280 gallon. This is the thread for the build. Stayed tuned and subscribe. The tank is being built and a new stand fabricated. My goal is to keep this thread updated and allow for others...
Has anyone worked out how to clean the bottom/inside of the long tube at the back of the NYOS skimmer?
I’m about to take it out for a clean and last time I couldn’t find anyway to get inside the tube. It looks like it’s sealed, but it can’t be air tight as it gets a small amount of skimmate...
Any DIY or store bought solutions for this odd skimmer drain outlet on NYOS 160? I just have a kinked hose that comes out of it. Less than ideal. Was hoping someone else came up with or found a solution.
I currently have an Eshopps S-200 skimmer (or whatever the comparable model was in late 2015) that's just never performed very well. It's currently in a sump under a 240 FOWLR, and I'm wondering if it's undersized. I constantly battle nitrates even though I only have 5 fish and an eel...
