Great HOB skimmer By Robert on 8/19/12
Robert would recommend this product to a friend
After a lot of research this skimmer seems like the best bang for the buck as far as HOB skimmers go. Very few micro bubbles. Works just fine for my 80 gallon reef.

awsome hob skimmer By dfresh on 8/2/12
dfresh would recommend this product to a friend
I've had remora pro and several other hob skimmers and the bh 2000 is the absolute best. I had it on a 32 gallon while cycling dry live rock and in the first 4 days it was already full of thick skimmate. Not the watered down skimmate you would expect. Now its on my 75 gallon reef tank and works wonderfully. Construction is heavy duty. Works as well as an in sump skimmer.

Loud at first By Jim on 6/15/12
Jim would recommend this product to a friend
I bought this BH2000 because it was so highly recommended on many websites and reviews. I'm hoping it will be as good as they say. The problem I had other than the lack of directions was that the thing was so LOUD at first. I had to run in a bucket of water in the office since it was too loud to go in the living room. After about a week and a half and strategically placed Styrofoam it is tolerable in the living room. I plan on soundproofing it even more.
I will say that BRS customer support agent, Lue Vang, and Coralvue support was responsive and helpful.

beats the heck out of my hob prizim. i was lucky to get one cup a month out of it. but this one i am emptying ever other day and you can tell it is pulling some nasty stuff out cause it smells nasty! the only problem, you have to disasymble the return to get at the sponge but other than that i would buy again.

Great price for a great product! By Erik on 3/15/12
Erik would recommend this product to a friend
Installed it onto my tank as soon as I received it and almost immediately it started getting a nasty green colored skimate. The next day it seemed to be broken in And started pulling some dark green skimate. Really quiet and efficient skimmer. Works awesome. Could have came with instructions tho.

Well Made Skimmer By Evan on 2/20/12

I have had this skimmer running for about 2 weeks on my 55 gallon and it has preformed very well. It made quite a few bubbles at first, but after some adjustments, bubble production is very low.

Outstanding!!!! By FuDz CWerner on 11/25/11
FuDz CWerner would recommend this product to a friend
I put this on my 75gal tank with 6 fish in it. For the first couple of days it was returning micro bubbles, but it did start working immediately. After 3 days all I can say is WOW!!! With my fish load I am emptying the cup 2 times a week with dark nasty skimmate. The instructions were pretty easy to follow and the unit installed quickly. The unit is also fairly quiet.
