With the ETSS once it is set you never change the settings, to clean it out.
But that price is with the Pump, and extra collection container.the Iwaki 40RLT is about 150 new, plus the 1 gallon collection cup is 125, so it comes to that price really fast. |
Did you really find the asm hard to dial in?
I haven't used and ASM, but have started using Euroreef skimmers almost exclusively now because I found they were pretty much plug and play.
I haven't used the ETSS, but have played with the beckket style skimmers from MRC.
The MRC was easy to dial in if it was used in an area where the water level did not flucuate (which I guess is true of the Needlewheel skimmers as well).
It would seem to me however that the downdraft style skimmer would be easier to build and parts easier to aquire. I haven't built one though as I have zero acrylic fab skills
