Thanks for the update! I wonder if it's on the market yet? Or when the surface skimmer will be available?

Scooterman · 10-10-2008, 05:27 PM

Yes, I would like to get that surface skimmer addition!

I called Pinky this afternoon and asked that very question. She checked and said that it would probably be mid to late December before she has the new surface skimmers.

Very nice, so do these one's have real T5's? Not the T5 power compacts like the other ones?

tyleratl · 10-10-2008, 06:06 PM

I believe that the new 250 does indeed use real T-5's.

$1500 is a bit overpriced to me, you could set up a 75g with a 6 bulb T-5 fixture and high end equipment for the same price

Actually I think for the price, you would struggle to assemble your own 66gallon, 10mm rounded corner aquarium with 6x39w T5's, 8x led's, 3600lph from twin circulation pumps, a full sized turbo skimmer injecting 300lph air and 1000lph water flow, complete filtration and all built in to a timer controlled, fan cooled hood with one plug and a nice control box. All sat on a chunky cabinet rather than a knock down stand.
The skimmer alone is a really serious bit of kit in the M250 and I know I'm biased but having seen the systems running for a year already I can vouch for the ease of use and effectiveness of the system.

As someone who just set up a 90G, I would say that you would be hard pressed to set up a 75G tank, skimmer, T5s, etc for anywhere near that price. You are looking at over $400 just for the lighting. A decent skimmer, heater, some sort of mechanical filtration, and chemical will also cost a good bit, even using a sump with filter socks, etc I am guessing close to $500 for the filtration on the lower end. Now you need return pumps, moonlights, timers, etc. And we still haven't gotten to the tank itself.
