Skimmer size for 7225 or 220.6

[MAXreefer]

Just curious what skimmer you guys are using on the Peninsula 7225 or Pro 220.6 for a mixed reef?
I am considering the Nyos Quantum 160. Big enough?
Any other skimmer you use and really happy about?
Thanks for any input

Skimz SM167. Absolutely love it.

Simplicity dc 240, I use that in my 220.6 and works great and fits real nice.

I have the Nyos 160 on my 6026. 5' version of the tanks you are considering. I think the skimmer is big enough (I constantly have 0 nutrients), but this skimmer has been a HUGE pain to dial in. I would go a different option if starting over. The Nyos appears to be high quality and looks cool but it's been a pain for me.

I use a Reef Octopus Regal 200 on my 7226. Works like a boss!

I have a Nyos 160 on a Waterbox 170.4/5. My feeling is that it’s a bit large for what I consider to be a medium/high bio load. Lot’s of fish and about 4-5 cubes per day. I’d say what bio load are you planning?

I’ve been trying to dial in my Nyos for 1 year. I do not feel like I have it dialed in yet.

I run Tunze skimmers on both of my systems.
I would run a 9430 DC.

Hi there! We recommend the NYOS Quantum 160 for both of these models. : )
