i have FWOLR tank size is 1 meter long with sump.........almost 70 gallons tank.... I am getting confused. Should I buy hanging skimmer like Reef Octopus BH1000 or other skimmer......Hanging skimmer is better than normal skimmer (without hang)....please advise....

If you have a Sump, your otpions are much better, and so is the choice. You can get a insump or out of sump skimmer at that point.
Bubble Magus
Vertex
SWC
Reef Octopus
To name a few. Look for the one with the highest l/h air intake.

Don't want to steal a thread. I have an swc 200 that needs a replacement pump. Any reccomendatuons??? Thanks!!!

If you have a sump then I wouldn't go with a hob skimmer. Get an in sump skimmer.

I take it you don't like the Sicce PSK-2500 pump?

 

[Joker79]

It came with a broken/rusted one. Read reviews about the fail to start issues and such.

 

[Joker79]

Haven't ever used one. Or it specifically.

 

[Reefing Madness]

Might want to give it a shot first. Not a bad set up.

The psk 2500??? Do you know if the bugs have been worked out??? I know it will mount right up to the canister though!!!

Havent' heard any news on the new ones as of yet, sorry.

Welp im a DIY guy, so I'd find one that has a better L/H Intake and same gph pump and figure out how to plump it. For instance I figured out how to make a simple 700gph water pump and turn it into a high L/H Skimmer Pump.

Personally I don't have a sump but I do run the BH-1000. Love this skimmer! It's quiet and has an external pump
I thought my tank was clean doing bi-weekly WC. NOT! Here's what was pulled out after only 2 days from a WC.
