Oh you know you want to get the Helix 5000 LOL
Deltec would be my vote

Twill how come?

twilliard · Dec 8, 2016

When it comes to available parts I think Deltec will win. (especially the motor parts)
The design of Nyos is not bad but not the best for maintenance IMO

Ok even with ecotech selling the nyos?
The price for both of them is about the same that's why I'm torn. I've talk to a few people with nyos and they love them and I know Adam at battle corals swears by deltec so that's where I'm at right now cause I'm sick of having a decent skimmer I want the best for once something I don't have to worry about

I just don't think you can go wrong with Deltec based on design.
So now order up that Orphek skimmer! LOL

I just googled the orphek
No one is selling it how much is it?
