Looking for a new skimmer to keep up with my "heavy" bioload.

90gal mixed reef
20gal sump
 
Whatever you do consider buying one larger. One that can perform on tanks 250 gallons or more. Why? In case you upgrade you already have the skimmer :) I did this back in 2000 and still use the skimmer today. Originally bought it for a 100 gallon and here I am on a 210 upgrade running the same fella. Already considering a new tank and looking at 340'ish and this will handle it perfectly.

I use a Lifereef skimmer. Good product and Jeff is a great guy. I'm sure you will get some good advise here so best of luck. That was about my only suggestion - bigger if you can to save you money down the road.
 
Tunze 9410DC. Plug it in and empty the cup every few days ;Smuggrin
 
I love the Reef Octo SSS Series. I run the 300 on my system. Beast of a skimmer.
Here's mine:

Have also owned the 150. Makes great skim mate, also super easy to take apart and clean.
 
Hi Is the Tunze 9410DC easy to setup and a good exporter of nutrient?
I am considering this for a while
The Tunze is very easy to set up. Really no tinkering at all. Adjust the water level once (right around 5.5”and your done. Forever. You will not find an unhappy Tunze owner. The only negative is there is no drain on the skimmer cup. you have to empty it every few days depending on your nutrient load.

Thank For for sharing
