    OK Flame me for my new Jebo Skimmer

    Rated for 300 gallon

    But I will be using it on a 75 gallon tank with a 40 gallon sump.The pump is about 800gallon an hour. It is 6 inches around and 23 inches tall.

    Wow no comments.I dont know if thats good or bad. I guess I will find out when I hook it up.My audio gear came from china and they did a good job on the Dac and the tube amp and saved me a bunch of money. So much that even a cave man could do it.

    Re: OK Flame me for my new Jebo Skimmer

    OK thank you. It kinda looks like the Euro-reef design except it doesnt have a needle wheel. I am way under its rating so I figure I will be allright.I was also thinking of adding a airpump to the air inlet. Do you all think its a good idea to try?

    Is that the ps160 or the 520? I think its the 520 with the venturi. A good skimmer imo with the prober mod's. Jebo/Odyssea gets bashed for making cheap skimmers, i like them. This skimmer works awesome for the price and you can mesh mod it and get much more skimmate from it. Good luck!

    Roddey, it will cost you about a buck, and double your bubble production. I thought about getting the 520 to mod it. Many people have turned it into a recirculating skimmer and had great luck with it. The ps160 is the new updated odyssea 520 and sells for under 75 shipped to your door. It is a needlewheel skimmer instead of a venturi. I think it will perform great. Keep me posted how it does.

    Just an FYI. I bought an odyssea PS75. Put it on my 75 on a whim.....Pulled black skimate every day. Now got a PS 160. No instructions ....have to figure it out but it kicks the coralife 220 I had in the butt in my opinion. I'm selling the coralife and spending the difference on corals!!!!!!!!!!! I really like these skimmers. Certainly the plastic is lower in quality.......but just don't use it for a hammer and things should be fine.
