Brand New Closeout, reg 164.99
At the time of listing this item, we have (4) unit in stock. Subject to quantity on hand only. If item is not available, we will notify you asap. The Turboflotor T1000 is a powerful skimmer with a unique plumbing scheme that makes it the smartest little skimmer on the market. Taking advantage of the fact that the surface of your aquarium is where proteins collect naturally, the T1000 is designed to intake the water exiting the overflow of your tank. By delivering the surface skimmed water directly into the reaction chamber of the T1000, efficiency is maximized. If splicing into the drain-line plumbing is not an option in your system, the T1000 can be run from a tee off of your main system pump or feed by a secondary pump. The T1000 Stand Alone requires a pump to vigorously re-circulate the volume of the reaction chamber, mixing it with finely chopped air bubbles. The T1000 is designed to be run on an Aqua Medic OR2700 (an Oceanrunner 2500 fitted with the formidable Needle Wheel impellor). Also included is a Filter Box with bio balls, which installs on the exit pipes, to shed micro-bubbles and increase your biological capacity. The skimmer itself is entirely Ozone ready; simply replace the vinyl airline with silicone tubing to connect the ozone generator to the venturi. Either way you plumb it the Turboflotor T1000 Stand Alone is the best skimmer available in this price range and easily out-performs skimmers costing twice the price.

(06/01/2004) - Is the best skimmer... with OR 2700 WOW!!!
I recommended 100%
(06/01/2004) - In comparison to my old Amiricle venturi skimmer, this skimmer is TOP OF THE LINE!!!!!! The skimmate that it pulls out is AWSOMELY putrid and foul! My only complaint is setting it up. The rio pump needs to be plugged in and unplugged SEVERAL times to get it going. If it dosent produce A TON of tiny bubbles when you plug it in, then do the above procedure. Since it's been setup, it has been doing a perfect job. It is on a three year old, 100gal reef tank. I am pleased with it.
(06/01/2004) - A good simple skimmer. I also think the rating is a bit high, but on a tank larger than 100 gallons or so, I'd be using a different skimmer anyway.
I've had the best results with these skimmers when I ran water through them quite slowly, thus maximizing contact time.
My only real gripes are the pitiful instructions, which are almost non-existant, and say to run the return line from the tank directly into the skimmer. I've never seen that work quite right. The little black plastic adjustment caps are useless, also. Much better just to adjust the flow into the skimmer.
That said, it's a great skimmer. Hardly any fiddling -- just plug it in and go.
(06/01/2004) - Good skimmer for the money.
I used on a 90g with great success. However, I do feel the tank rating is a bit high.
I wouldn't consider this skimmer for anything more than 125g. Mostly because the actual flow through the skimmer is a bit low because of the design....
