    Im using this, I bought the 500 because for the money seemed the best deal for my more heavily stocked 100g reef. I have large corals and about 8-9 fish. So what I did was I modified this skimmer but adding a Sicce Pk 200 as the recirculating pump but I also added the venturi to it. So that now much more air is being injected into the water column. To me its the best of both worlds.

    Hello I bought the dimension 125, you have removed the screw that is in the venturi that regulates the flow of water, why? I have a problem I have adjusted the height of the foam on the edge of the main cylinder without the glass, as per instructions but the foam afterwards does not rise in the glass, for what reason?

    My experience has been a nightmare. Ordered online from a group in Oregon and they had no intention of fulfilling. Paid for the 250 gallon and days went by when they said it was in stock. Then they said they do no have it BUT they have the larger one. So I paid a whopping difference totaling over 400.00 total and they never sent that, Then called Seachem and they said you have to purchase in person in a store not sold online ? I have no store where I am at that sells this. So now I filed with Visa and they will go after them. Never since 1990's buying skimmers have ever had such a nightmare. 🤨

    Thanks to Jake's review I pulled the trigger on the Aquavitro Division 125 model and couldn't be happier! Assembly was super simple, I litterally had it in the sump ready for start up in just under 15 minutes, then after only a few adjustments to the water and air flow this beast started pulling out skim mate. The whole process from unboxing to skim mate miraculously took less than 40 minutes! I honestly feel like I stole this little monster for $246.05 with free Fed X delivery to my front door! I installed it Saturday and as of today, Monday, she hasn't missed a beat nor needed any adjustments! I never even dreamt I'd find a skimmer with this kind of power, range, quality, or small footprint anywhere near this price point! You can bet these will be changing the whole skimmer game big time!

      My Made In China Ecotech Vortech MP40’s are leaps and bounds better than any Tunze pump I have owned and the customer service has been the best I have ever experienced if I did have issues.
      So go ahead and pay $1500 for a bottom of the line Royal Exclusive skimmer. Your pockets are clearly deeper than mine. As is most everyone else’s in this hobby.

    I bought the Aquavitro Division 250 from a local dealer. Out of the box the pump was having issues. I contacted Seachem. They told me the skimmer needed a 1-2 week break-in. I told them that the pump wasn't functioning properly. I reached out 4 more times, they have ignored my requests for technical support. No response at all. Out $325, I decided to get something higher end so I bought the Maxpect Aeraqua Duo. What a fantastic skimmer. Ingenious design, expertly made, quiet and powerful. I've been running it trouble free for over a year.
