pbnj Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Anyone have any experience/opinions regarding Elos Natural Skimmers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yes, I have a 4000, that I'm not using right now, although I might be as a second skimmer in the future. Anyway, I did a re-circ mod on my Euro-Reef RS 180 and have never looked back. I just couldn't ever seem to get the Elos turned right.

pbnj Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 The 4000 is rated for 550-1100 gallons. Would you recommend it for a 240g? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 That's what came with the 200 gal Elos system I have. If you decide to buy one, let me know first. I might be willing to let it go and save you a bunch of $$. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Umm, pics! Of the system, not the skimmer per se. Blog? Build thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbnj Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 A brand new NS4000 with 2 Eheim 1260's just sold on eBay for $366 (free s&h). I was tempted because the thing sells for over $1500 everywhere, but I must have spent over two hours researching it online and couldn't find any feedback/reviews anywhere. Maybe that in and of itself speaks volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefman Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'd have to see that to believe one would sell for that low. I would have bought it for that just for the 2-1260 Ehiem pummps. You can find stuff on the skimmers on the Elos forum on RC. Just look through the threads there. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefman Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 That looks to be the same one. I wonder if it was an individual. I looked at the "Other Items", but the seller didn't have anything else. Someone got a good deal. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
