Good protein skimmer

[Murica]

My hydor external just died and I'm looking to get an internal skimmer. Any recommendations? I have about 200 total water volume and would like to stay below 300

How's coral box?

I have a bit more total volume at approx 280 and run a BubbleKing Supermarin 200. It’s amazing and would suit you well if you’re mid to heavily stocked.

Take a look at Aquamaxx skimmers. Very good budget minded skimmers

My vertex works awesome, easy to adjust and low maintenance, and won’t break the bank.

I've had good luck with my aquamaxx and it wasn't to expensive.

I'm absolutely loving my R.O. eSsense 130. It's almost as quiet as my Current EFlux DC pump and does a fantastic job. Maintenance is a breeze with this skimmer too.

Because it's on sale now I'd probably go with a Vertex 180i. Second choice either Eshopps X-220 or Octopus 202S.

Just purchased a reef octopus SRO 5000 ext. for my 300DD. Expensive ,but the thing is a beast. Very happy with it so far.

+1 on the reef octopus essence 130 it’s amazing. Dustin

UltraReef Akula. superb craftsmanship relative to price. And a small footprint.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Look for a skimmer that has a pump that can easily be replaced. DO NOT choose a skimmer that has a proprietary pump design! I learned the hard way. My Aquamaxx skimmer died 6 months in & it only has 1 option for a replacement pump... at $259+.

Decided to pick up a used LifeReef Skimmer & now I can add whatever pump I want to it.

My local forum has this for sale. I would buy used if you have a local forum

Anyone know anything about the simplicity 240dc?

 

[sundog101]

I use the classic 150 int. Love it! Nothing fancy but gets the job done!

If you have room Lifereef if you don't have room Deltec

 

[Cory]

Id rather buy a used best skimmer like bubble king or deltec or downdraft or beckett. This way youll know its performing like it should.
