Maxspect AD 600 Skimmer

[IDAN]

Anyone have an experience with this skimmer? Good, bad or ugly?

I asked this same question with very little feedback, i just ended up buying a Supermarin 200 with Rd3.

 

[IDAN]

Yes, I can't get any feedback on this skimmer. Only advertising

I have one and absolutely love it. It is a workhorse, easy to clean/maintain and relatively quiet. I have nothing but good to say about mine, it is the best skimmer I've ever owned.

I believe there are several threads on here about it if you do a search.

More quite then reef octopus?

 

[JohnGP]

I haven't had an RO skimmer in quite a while so I'd be lying if I answered that however; my tank sits about 16" behind our main couch in the Living Room and it doesn't bother me at all while watching tv. I think it's pretty darn quiet.

 

[IDAN]

With more moving parts, have you noticed any parts deterioration? Any problems in general?

 

[JohnGP]

None at all, it is well designed and solidly built from what appears to be high quality parts. Even though they are a little pricey if it broke beyond repair I would immediately purchase another one. Did you catch their newest one for a more modest price? It's in their "Jump" series line of products, looks pretty nice.

The SK series rated to 175 gallons

 

[JohnGP]

Yes, the "Jump skimmer".

For someone reason its half if the ad600 price. $350.00 vs $700.
I wonder why

 

[JohnGP]

I think because it's quite a bit smaller and has features. Still seems like it'd be a great skimmer just not as big and fancy as the AD 600.

Yes I have this skimmer on my Waterbox 7225 peninsula. The skimmer works great, small footprint, super quiet, easy to take apart to clean (no tools needed), has a float valve to stop skimmer from ever overflowing, fully adjustable with dc pump, its a little pricey but well worth the cost. I had a reef octopus 202s before this one

Typo; meant to say LESS features than the AD 600....

You like better than reef octopus?

Yes I do but to be fair the price is much more for the ad 600.. with that said it is much quieter, has a smaller footprint, has overflow preventer (float valve) and has much more control for fine tuning.
