!!!THE DROOP-u-LING MAW!!!

[Battlecorals]

Yeah I don't know why I am still so fascinated by stuff like this, but every time I clean this thing I say to myself, "you gotta get a pic of that"

Well, today I did.

Folks, here is the neck of my hard working Deltec 1455 just before a thorough cleaning. I mean this "crap" is off the charts. Another week or two and she'd be closed up completely I'm sure. The deposits are thick and powdery

So, all you fans and believers of your beloved other skimmers. Do your necks look like this? I'm asking really! Lets see some pics. I want to see some proof!

Roll out the troll mobiles, call me an idiot, and put me in my Deltec loving place!

OMG what IS that stuff???

You win. Next skimmer is coming from you

Speaking of skimmers, do we have any winners yet from the PC rainbow Skimmer v. non-skimmer grow out? @Russ265 @Greenstreet.1 @twilliard Thats about all I can manually remember lol

 

[Lonny]

Wow! Ok two questions.
A: how long did it take to get lime that after the cleaning? And

B: what makes a Deltec create deposits like that?

I run a skimz skimmer and thought it was doing great! Of course my bio load is way less but still, wow!!!

 

[Triggreef]

I was hoping to see some crazy wierd named acro here btw...

Good man! These skimmers are the real secret to my success. Over a Decade now and I wouldn't trust my sps with anything else. and the pitch continue to ooze...

Hey Lonny! This is about two weeks worth. I could have really gone for the homer and let it close up but I just needed to clean it. Today! This is just what Deltecs do man. They are unbelievably effective skimming machines. You should see my 2560 with the cleaning head. It's much worse because I don't clean it nearly as often.

Is that the one in the video where your scrapping like a half inch thick layer of "mud" out of the collection cup? I gotta get one year out of my skimz but I think I'll start putting some cash back for a Deltec from Ya in a few months! There's no denying your success with sps and if you give a skimmer that much credit that's good enough for me! If you don't have a model for approximately 170gl system I hope you do in a couple of months. Did you get moved into the new place?

You are the master of click bait. I came expecting to see a new coral lol

No, but good question! that was the monster 4580. He will be going on the new system. I test drove it last year and that's when I made that sledge ball vid. The 2560 is the heart and soul of my primary system. Roughly 800 gallons

That Adam, is the most beautiful scum I've ever seen. That is unbelievable! How long did it take for that to build up? That skimmer is dialed in. I'm sold, talk to you first of the year after Christmas moola in hand

 

[Newb_reefer1]

Wow. I though my collection cup got gross. But this. This is a whole new level... and that shot is insane do you make a skimmer model for a 55g ?

 

[Joshky]

Compared to this my aquamaxx is trash. There, I said it. Do I get a free Deltec for coming clean?

Deltec is #1 on my list if I can ever allocate the money, I wish you were selling them when I bought my aquamaxx I would've purchased from you in a heartbeat.

HI there!

They sure do. The SCA1351 is your skimmer. A small yet powerhouse of a skimmer. I can send you a link if you like or you can do some site diving at Battlecorals.

Please let me know if you have any other questions at all.

Thanks a lot!

Ok now your talking! You will not be disappointed Rik I guarantee. This buildup took about two weeks at the most. I have really come to take it for granted but man do these things skim like no other. I mean i am very used to seeing this now.

I was sure I'd get a slew of loyal and faithful Lifereefers or Curvies even, posting pics and insisting I was full of it by now, but alas. nothing.... I mean where are the trash talkers? Someone wants tell me downdraft is the king, or that their DIY will put this to shame. Let's see it.

 

[revhtree]

Dang!

 

[Tony727]

Pftt my bubble king pulls more skimmate than that and I don't even have it plugged in!
