OK, my ER RC-500 is dead & I do not know what to get. Any suggestions on a skimmer that I should look at for under $1,000? I called up ER & they want $250 PER PUMP & I need 2 of them. They claimed they could give me a 10% discount & I think that's a joke, no reason for those pumps to be that pricey!!
My skimmer presently has 2 of the GenX-4100 & they lasted about 18 months before they both failed on me. The newer skimmers use 3 eheim pumps & he informed me that some people claim that when 2 eheims are installed the performance goes down a bit while other people prefer that. Who knows......
Any suggestions on what I should look at? I hated how noisy the ER pumps were thus I was thinking of possibly trying one of the reeflo skimmers which are powered by a Dart or Snapper pump. I also thought that possible I should try to make a skimmer & use a Dart NW to run it.
Any info/thought greatly appreciated
