SWC 120 Cone.

[Reeferon]

I am wanting to buy a 120 cone to set up on my new 40 breeder; which will mainly house SPS.

I have a filter sock additional to the skimmer. DO you guys think that the 120 will suffice? ...I cant really fit a 160 down there unless I get creative.

Also, where's a good place to get one?

I would definatley go too www.shop.reeffiltration.com. Luke is an awesome guy to deal with.

Most definitely will suffice.

That's the setup I have! 40B, 30L sump, swc120, and of course a filter sock!

Should be plenty for a 40g.

It looks like the 160 extreme has a smaller footprint.
Would that skimmer be overkill for my system?

The 120 has a 7x6" footprint, the 160 cone has a 9x7" footprint. They both have small footprints. The 120 would work fine for a sps dominated 40g tank. If you plan on upgrading to a larger tank you may want to go with the 160 cone, but for that size the 120 would work fine. I run a 160 on a 50g display and a 125g display and it handles both just fine.
