Anyone have experience with the Deltec MCE600?

I've got the C Remore Pro and am either going to add another one or sell the the one I have and buy the Deltec.

Thoughts...ideas....

At this point price isn't an issue so any other H.O.T. skimmers that you suggest would be greatly appriciated.

It is the biggest HOB skimmer that Deltec makes. It uses the same aquabee pump as the AP600 and Turbo 1250. The only problem I can think of is that until they slime up, it will release some microbubbles into the tank.

What size tank is it going on?

Not on this one... The sump is going on the 180 when it is time!

Either way, a MCE300 isn't an appropriate skimmer so you are right on track with the 600. That skimmer should be able to handle a 125 with high bioload but be prepared for a lot of NOG!

Let's get a sump that would be nice for the 180 running on the 125 and start buying gear intended for a 180. I've got a handful of return pumps that would be perfect.
