Recommendation for Skimmer for 120 gallons

[thespsguy]

Any recommendation? I heard about Nyos 160 that costs $499.00 for 120 gallons
I appreciate any help, I'm new on this

See if SaltyOldDog still has this available.
I’ve been using this skimmer on my 120 reef tank with a Sicce psi pinwheel pump for years, with excellent results

Hey Mike thank you very much man, I'm new on this and I have a guy specialist from Pecto in saltwater that is going to build this week the sump and skimmer. But I don't have the money right now ($400) to buy one since I spent already a lot on the aquarium and rocks.
I have a question, he said the one I mentioned from Nyos, you regulate once the air and everything and it's done, you don't need to bother anymore. How is this one you are selling? Do you need to keep changing the setup? How is the condition? is new? Also where you are man? Can I get today or tomorrow? I'm in Winthrop, ma. Thank you very much for your help and sorry for many questions

For skimmers, it doesn't matter which skimmers you have, you have to play around and adjust them quite a bit before they are stable. With the more experiences people, they can judge the water level, the air amount that the skimmer pull in and the amount of dirt in the water and they set and adjust the skimmer accordingly. As you are new to this hobby, don't expect to buy something and set once and forget about it, you will be disappointed. A new tank with few fishes doesn't need skimmer right away, you can get away with just water change. So save up the money and buy the skimmer that you want.
