Got the third body this morning:), Johan overnight it to me.

It has been running for an hour now with two out of the three pumps, one of the aqua bees is missing a shaft bushing:(. So far I am impressed with the bubble size and quantity, even on two pumps.

what is saxby's relation to deltec? owner? mega dealer?

He is the "Managing Director" of D&D aquarium in UK, it is the same as the CEO or owner of a small company. He has the exclusive distribution rights(Mega Dealer) for Deltec in the UK and I think also in the US. Deltec USA gets the skimmers thru him, at least that is what I understood from the conversation I had with them few years ago at MACNA Boston.

The skimmate was very dark, almost like oil from an oil spill.
I was surpised to see so much stuff coming out from the tank and the smell was really bad:skull::Yikes:.
I have 6 fish and the tank is up around two weeks.

so hows the ex-3 doing?

I had it running for a few days and was somewhat "happy" with the performance for the money paid for a Deltec copy. However, I don't think I would buy another one from DAS anytime soon. Their support and sales department have a lot of learning and improvements to do, right now they are pretty bad at supporting and getting back to your phone calls.

It is off line right now because I cracked a holding tank in my system during the process of permanently installing this skimmer into my 400 gallon fish system. Other priorities also have delayed the installation, I hope July will give me more time to get this installed.
