Wow! Ok I am in need of a skimmer. So does anyone recommend Vertex? It seems a lot of buyers complain it is loud. I am not a equipment geek therefore don't know if they are worth the money. So I am now looking at getting a 100g tank for my birthday. What are your thoughts on the Vertex Omega 150 skimmer? Would you recommend this for a 100g or a different brand? I was looking at the Red Octo 150int

Vertex Omega 150 Protein Skimmer is engineering and style as you would expect from Vertex at an attractive price point. Wine bottle body shape with solid construction,V-150 Skimmer pump, pinwheel impeller, custom volute and pumphead, titanium screws, ozone port and silicone coupler.

  • Tank Size: 150 Gallons
  • Power Consumption: ~25W
  • Ajustable Air Draw: Approx. 172 - 238 GPH (650 - 900 LPH)
  • Footprint: 9" x 12"
  • Height: 22"
  • Optimal Level: Max 9.5" Min 7"


BRS Recommended Tank Size:

Lightly Stocked - 150 Gallons

Medium Stocked - 90 Gallons

Heavily Stocked - 55 Gallons
 
Sucks they went out of business they screwed me on a controller.

They make good skimmers but if ever need parts for it they would be hard to find because they aren't made anymore.
