Nyos Quantum 300. My thoughts

[cane]

Just purchased this thing and set it up in my basement sump for my 340 gal system. And dang this thing is a beast. Buil quality is amazing. It’s actually beautiful, like art work. Looks so good I didn’t want to use. It needs to be on display somewhere. Within a few hrs it started skimming really well and was/is very easy to adjust. The next day I made a few fine adjustments and it is working great. These guys really paid attention to detail when they built this tank. At this point I will never even consider buying any other brand skimmer..

Thats a big one Mr Grinch.

So that skimmer only has one pump? Looks like you got it tuned correctly, looks like shaving cream coming out of the skimmer cup.

I run a NYOS 220 on my tank. It’s been up for about 6 months. Other than it not likening when I carbon dose the only real complaint I have is the dish that’s connected to the lid. Mine came from the factory not glued well and it’s only attached about half way around. Keep an eye out for that. They are definitely beasts.

I have the 160 and love it. Build quality is top notch and they are really quiet. Mine started pulling crap out as soon as it leveled itself.

I agree. I usually do not post about equipment but this thing was just that impressive

I like the Rubbermaid sump!! I run 2 of them! A 150 and a 75. Thanks for posting about skimmer. Was wondering how well they worked.

The Rubbermaid sump is perfect. And cheap considering what we spend on this Hobby.

had Nyos 160 it was a piece of crap. my old BM Curve 5 worked better than that how ever it looked like a supermodel. So i got rid of it and got

best skimmer i have ever owned yet. its sitting in 9.75 inches of water and i dont think it had brake in period well i dont even think i washed it at all droped it in water and let it rip... dark stinky skim-mate and after shut down for clean up always i mean always goes back to setting . Havent adjusted it yet since the original fine tune

I agree on the NYOS skimmers.....I will not purchase another brand either. I love the fact that it comes completely apart (unlike my old RO skimmer) for cleaning. Skims consistently....never needs daily/weekly adjustments once it is dialed in.

Sorry to hear Shelby. But glad you found something you like

Love my 160. Been performing flawlessly for a year for.

Had the 220. Loved it. Only reason I didn’t go with the 300 was because I wanted to slim down my equipment list and now run a lifereef off of a manifold.
