A little help picking a skimmer

[seaweed88]

I am looking at 3 skimmers for a 90 reef. I am using a sock on the overflow and the skimmer for in sump filtering. I am looking at Motipora and some LPS in the system. The 3 skimmers I am looking at are....
Bubble Magus BM-NAC7

Octopus Diablo 160 XS

Octopus OCT-NWB-200

Thank you in advance for any help. I have been carbon dosing with my present skimmer and do plan on continuing this with the new skimmer.

Thanks
Mark

I just went through this major decision and bought the xp2000 SSS and have been very happy with performance. Can't say I've used the ones u listed but wanted to share my experience with the decision and purchase I made!

I have a nac7 and it skims like a monster.

Checkout seaside aquatics skimmers. They are bubble magus copies with better pumps.

I love my octopus skimmers. I run a dnwb-110 on my display and a nwb-110 on my frag system. Great skimmer and a reasonable price

I would go against the, list too. I would take a look at the rlss r6 i ? dc powered controllable pump with a jns body .
Should be released soon since macna is over.Or the r8 i if the budget can stand it .

Nac7 is great skimmer. I have in my 70 gallon LPS tank (euphyllias, acan, and some goniopora). Skim the dark nasty stuff from my tank.

Thanks for the reply!! I will check out the RLSS. The R8 is a little out of my budget but I will research the R6. I can buy the Nac 7 used from a friend. But I have always wanted to buy a good skimmer. And now is the time.... Thanks again

As far as spec go the 6 appears to fit the bill but we know how specs go . It might be on the money or not . Still worth a look see.I emailed RLSS and AS answered the release date on the 6 model. U can pre-order a 6 now . RLSS stated release after MACNA and the retailer said first to mid month release date .

HTH GL and if u get one start a thread on it please . I am tempted to get one but am a lil busy with chasing new additions . LOL

I looked at the rls for my 180 and ended up going with the proven SRO3000. They are a proven company with good customer support. Not to mention great skimmers.

I was just going to mention that same brand of skimmers, They are SERIOUSLY sweet, I just put one in a customers tank and the controllable DC pump W/ feed mode is a sweet little feature, I was thinking of getting the Avast Marine CS1 skimmer but may just spend a little more coin and get the RLSS R6I for my tank instead

 

[seaweed88]

I think I am ging to go with the r6

 

[screefer]

I've seen several of the RSLL 8i's in action and they are awesome. They produce good foam, are quiet, and the remote adjustment is sweet!

I love my mrc skimmer

Started on picking up new equipment for the new build .. Yah ... I bit it and ordered a the RLSS 6 i as the 8 was too big for my sump .
At least I get to play with it on this tank too..Merry XMAS to me .
