Great video as always
Thank you :)
That really is a great skimmer!!! I was debating on getting one for my next build. You have given me proof positive that I will be very happy with a Nyos skimmer indeed!!! Thanks for the update review! And as always thanks for all your hard work !!!
What size will you need?
Prestige Reef .... Same as you, the 220. I should be able to get away with that for my 130 that will be eventually fully stocked I.e. heavy bioload. I don’t think the extra 5 gallons will make a huge impact on the performance seeings how it’s rated 125 for heavy bioload. Would you agree?
I agree, it shouldn't make much difference
Cool skimmer and great review
Thank you :)
Best review videos of any youtuber
Aww... Thank you :D I'm not sure that counts for the whole of youtube
You should make a video about everything in your tank, from stocking to equipment!
There is one on my equipment already :)
I'm looking for a new skimmer right now, perfect timing
You wont be disappointed
Anna Reef I have the 160 on my 180 and it’s a machine! I love it!
Great review. I have a 120 and it seems to overflow quite often. Any advice would be helpful
Without knowing how its set its hard to help, however it sounds like the water level might be set too high
Nice review on this skimmer. It is well built and performs great from what I’ve heard but also comes with a price tag. 😉
Most quality products do
Prestige Reef That’ is very true!! 👍
I love these skimmers
Me too :)
Hey Prestige, I have a suggestion for a future video. How about a video on top 10 Reef tank luxury equipment. Equipment that's not essentially essential but makes reefing so much more easier (for a price). I wanna deck out my reef tank soon as I'm getting a summer job.
There is so much stuff which isn't essential though... you dont even really need a skimmer
I have a Nyos 160 and love it. Super quiet and very efficient.
Sounds like you've had a similar experience
When you had the Nyos 120, did you care not to have the drain in the collection cup? How did it effect you?
Ryan, I’m considering a reefer 425 med/heavy stocked eventually... in your experience would you go the nyos 120 or the 160 thanks!
If it will fit in the sump go for the 160
When setting the skimmer does the Base of the bottom need to be 8 inches from the bottom of the sump ?
I have the same 220 , its excellent
I own 3 Nyos Skimmers - All second hand, and I'm not selling a one of them, even though I recently downsized and have two sitting dry (for now). These skimmers are everything they are cracked up to be. Well worth the price!
Sounds like you are happy with your purchase :p
I changed a Tunze 9410DC for the 160 and boy is it quiet and a quality bit of kit 👍
Sounds like you're happy :)
Thanks for video.
I had 220 too, and i have a question - how to clean inside a regulation tube ? This tube cannot be disassembled :(
If I'm honest I've never cleaned it...
Très bien NYOS !!! 👍👍👍
lol my french lessons at school were finally put into use
They are completely worth it! Best skimmer. On the market!
Agreed :)
I had heard reports of issues removing the collection cup. Have you experienced any problems?
Not once... sounds like people need to hit the gym :p
There's nothing like doing a review video well after you started using it. Also... didn't you mention a new tank a little while back?
lol the new tank is right around the corner... I've been keeping you all waiting too long now
@@PrestigeReef this hobby is helping me learn patience, no rush🤙🏼
The nyos skimmer requires you sacrifice an inferior skimmer to it each year to ensure optimal performance.
This made me really laugh
You really had me wondering if you was going to mention a screwdriver for a second 😄
lol I don't even own a screw driver :p
Hi, what’s the size of the ozone input barb on the skimmer? Thanks
Have you ever had the reef octo for comparison
Looks like I know what Skimmer to get next
That was good timing
So worth it
:D
What about the air intake? My octopus skimmer has an annoying sound from it, I use an air stone to muffle the sound, been looking for a quieter skimmer!!
I've never noticed me being annoyed by it
Hi, I would like to purchase the Nyos 120 for my reefer170, would you recommend it? thanks
I’ve not used that model but I’m very happy with the 220
Hmmm strange my nyos 220 is noisy. I tell the shop and the distributor and they don't trust me. I donno how to make it quite, I can hear it from 15 ft away.
I'm planning to get myself a 300!
Sounds like you've got a big tank
I'm sold; now I need to buy a tank so I can use this skimmer lol
lol this made me smile
But is it worth it tho? you haven't answered your own question. I know there so many other brands of skimmer cost a lot less than Nyos, and they have shown great performances as well. SO does really worth spend that much more money to buy Nyos? or Brands like SWC, Redsea, Bubble Magus, Reef octopus, tunze and etc....
my skimmer pump stopped working, someone knows where I can get a replacement quantum 3.0 pump?
I can not find it anywhere
www.reef-guardian.com/boutique/en/nyos/2728-quantum-30-pump-for-nyos-skimmer.html
nice
Thank you
I have the 160 on a 450L reef. Ive had everything from the old school deltec, tmc, red sea, and bubble magus 5 and 7. I personally wouldbt swap the nyos for any of them. An excellent product if you set it up correctly 👍
I am the exact opposite.I can't stand the Nyos. Worst skimmer I ever had.
i Had many skimmers before, Nothing is better than nyos.
Sounds like you are happy with your purchase :)
What is the fish at the very beginning?
Sohal tang
Yes they arevworth every penny...... gorgeous powerfull performance. Ive used the 120 on my nano .. then I upgraded to the 220 for my 8 footer which is all sold. And now I run the 160 ... and nothing beats them .... reef octopus and deltec are good skimmers .. but are they as good as nyos skimmers ..... looks .. no ... performance no ... would I change to any other skimmer .... NO CHANCE .. Best skimmers on todays market in my opinion.
I have the little one, I only have a little tank
lol its not the size that matters :p
But is it worth it? As you are really value conscious and often say how little you spend on the hobby I was waiting for that part because it isn't budget.
I am value conscious... however I still run my tank with some of the best equipment. Frags usually help me significantly when it comes to the more expensive things
@@PrestigeReef Exactly - I was wondered if they sponsored you but yeah my comment was just about your answer here - I just thought you would say in the video that some pieces of equipment are worth spending extra on for quality that will last and the extra features are a bonus. It's so great you are doing these long term reviews. I just got the GW10 and that was mainly due to all the reviews on build quality. But a 2 year review would have been super helpful. I was also on the edge of undersizing just a tad and going for the GW5 - I think undersizing is where reefers will be in a couple of years because there are so many other great ways to lower the things that dirty up your tank
It skims just as well as my bubble magus does🤷🏽♂️
Im going to have to disagree. Ive had the curve 5 and the curve 7 and neither come close to the build quality or perfomance of my Nyos 160.
I've never had the pleasure of testing one of those so I can't say
I would disagree with recommending this skimmer to newcomers. I've spent approx at minimum 20 hours on this skimmer, yes 20+ hours dialing in this thing. I've tried rasing water level, changing flow, cleaning, opening valves, opening air, cleaning, and the thing is just too blood nitpicky. When you finally get it running, don't you dare raise your water level, or mess with flow, otherwise you'll be pulling your hair out. Nyos 120
The nyos 120 is much smaller then the 220, because of its smaller size the changes have a bigger impact than with the bigger skimmer
I ended up pulling mine after 3 months because of this very thing and then some. Mine started producing micro bubbles like crazy that no setting or water level would control. It was just way too much trouble. I grew to absolutely hate this skimmer. Having owned other skimmers I just cannot figure out why there is so much love for this skimmer. It is a royal pain. I have never owned a skimmer as picky as this one. I just want a skimmer to skim. Thats it. I don't care if it is pretty or made with "high quality" parts. Does it skim well and is it easy to keep dialed in and clean. To me, the new red sea skimmers look like they are more feature rich and easier to keep dialed in. And they use a sicce pump. That is what I am going to replace this Nyos piglet with. Good riddance.
I'm currently using the 120, and only had to dial it in a couple of times during the break in period. Haven't touched it (except for cleaning the cup) in over half a year now.
