Jez,

All i can say is its a cracking piece of kit, that was not long after i had moved some rock ext around and gave the rock a wash, cracking peice of kit, it normally looks like a fruit tea sort of look. :)

I did use a MCE600 but as i went to a bigger setup and using the ULNS and wanted to keep more sps corals a bigger and better skimmer was needed. :thumbsup:

I am currently running a Deltec AP600 on my 75g tank, but am not satisfied with the skimmate production so I decided to buy the UltraSkim 2 Jet version. What do you guys think about this size skimmer on my 75g tank which has many acropora corals? A bit too much?

not too much at all - I have my ultraskim2 on a 30 gal :D

Wow, that's a big skimmer for that size tank! Are you getting consistent skimmate with your 30g? I hear that oversized skimmers on smaller tanks can sometimes not produce much skimmate or any at all because it there is not enough in the water to produce a steady foam head.

Foam production obviously varies throughout a 24 hour period but i'm constantly getting skimmate... The tank is fed extremely heavily but even if it wasn't, I think it would still work fine
