I wanted to replace my aging Reef Octopus skimmer with a new DC powered skimmer to have a quieter skimmer in my sump. After replacing my return pump (Eheim 1262) with a new Sicce sdc 7.0, pump noise was so much lower that the skimmer became the loudest thing in my sump by a large margin.
So off I went researching skimmers.
I almost pulled the trigger on three different skimmers trying to decide which would be better when I came across some reviews for the Simplicity skimmer. To my eyes it looked like a clone of the Skimz skimmer I was , thinking about buying, but was $100 cheaper.
Some more research later and I find reviews by people who have had several skimmers but love this one the best, so I pulled the trigger and ordered one.
One of the greatest features of this skimmer is that at the bottom of their web page is a phone number, that when called is answered by the owner, a very friendly guy who was only willing to help, this to me was HUGE, a real person at the other end of the product, just like Avast, another company with great support.
The most amazing thing is that this skimmer blows away my Reef Octopus, it is pulling so much more skimmate than the RO, Maybe because the RO was older , or maybe the Simplicity is a more efficient design? all I know is that my water is cleaner, and my tank is much quieter, uses less electricity and my wallet is fuller, a win win IMO.
I love my simplicity skimmer.........
