Best Skimmers (200gal)

[ryancanulla]

Hi there,

I'm looking for recommendations on a new skimmer. I have about 140 gal of water. This may increase with the addition of a new frag tank.

Reef Octopus?
AquaC?
ASM?

Thanks for any suggestions!

I could get this one running on 30W or electricity...

I have the 8" octopus and I love the thing. Does a great job on my system with right around 200g in it. Mine is the DNW-200. In fact, I sometimes only let it run for part of the day to keep from OVER-skimming. (I dont have many fish)

well, how much money are you looking to spend?

$ is a big factor, but i like the super reef octopus. i have the cone and it is pretty sweet.

I utilize an Aqua C on my 230+ gal system.

The primary (top mounted) reservoir is small. However, if you utilize the optional drain it is no longer a problem. I shunt mine into a 5 gallon bucket directly below.

I was looking at this one for 320.00
