Help me pick a skimmer

[Chiefmaster30]

I have an 80 gallon dt and 20 gallon sump. I consider my stock as a medium bioload. I'm trying to decide with the bubble magus nac5.5, Curve A5, or reef octopus 110int. Anyone have any experience with any of these?

Also considering the CoralBox Dc500? Anyone?

 

[Chiefmaster30]

I can't decide!!!

Hard to beat this at that price. Quality Sicce pump included.

I can't speak for the others but the reef octopus is a solid product. That being said I'm currently running an aquamaxx co-1 on my 90 gallon and its keeping up with no problems. I'm prob stocked on medium to heavy side.

I'm using the Bubble Magus Curve 5 and it works great.

I'm running the reef octopus 200int on my 80 dt with 40 breeder sump. Works great. May be over kill but it works great

I ordered the Bubble Magus Curve 5.

 

[Jblunkall]

Cool man. Let us know how it works out

Finally got my Curve 5 today. Very well packaged! Love it so far!

Well, I was excited! Just opened it up and the skimmer body is busted, the entire side is busted out of it.

 

[gcarroll]

Dangit! Sorry about that. Contact the shipper ASAP!

 

[Chiefmaster30]

I just did! They are sending a replacement. Still a bummer!

Finally got my Curve 5 Undamaged. Is it normal during break in period for the collection cup to be full of water?
