Best Skimmer for 75 Gallon
Hi folks,
I'm currently running my Eshopps PSK200 on my 75 gallon with a 25 gallon sump setup. I'm looking at replacing my skimmer with a new one and looking for some feedback as there are so many different options available. I'm looking specifically for an in sump model with a smaller footprint. Anyone using a skimmer they love I would like to hear. Win Boxing Day coming up I have been looking at various skimmers on reef supplies and JL Aquatics. I'm running a primarily LPS reef tank with heavy bio load (full of beautiful fish :D ). If anyone has a skimmer that is working well and would recommend it, I would love to know. Thanks for all the help fellow reefers. :biggrin: |
I'm running a Bubble Magus NAC 3.5 which is hardly enough for my Reefer 250. I've shopped around and for a small footprint the Nyos Quantum 120 is quite appealing. They're based out of Europe but they've entered a distribution contract with the more familiar Ecotech. Pretty much the same degree of quality and I've heard really good reviews from their products though they don't come cheap... https://www.marineexperience.ca/coll...rotein-skimmer

I've been doing some research as well, I have a PSK100 I am generally happy with, but I am upgrading tank size and will likely need a replacement at some point. I like the look of the IceCap skimmers, they use the same Sicce pump as the Eshopps, which is a good pump. Reef Octopus spave savers look pretty nice too, along with the Nyos but they're obviously pretty pricey and aren't actually reviewing all that well from what I have found on other forums.

They are very new, they have only been out about six or eight months, so that's likely why you're not seeing a ton of reviews. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...cecap+skimmers |

I have the Icecap K-120 on my 65 +20L sump. It's pulling out dark skim at about 7 1/2" water height with 5 fish and I'd say higher than average feeding.
Very quiet, pulls about ~49w and has a small-ish footprint as well if that matters. I've never used another non-nano skimmer, so I can't comment on alternatives. I've been happy with the purchase, construction quality is good. |

Kyl how is the adjustments on the skimmer? How was the break in period? |
It's adjusted about 3/4 closed, and I'm not sure on the break in period as it was in the sump running while the tank was cycling. Soon as the bio load kicked up it was producing skimmate. Judging by the RC thread, it isn't too long for others.

Worth Looking at the Bubble Magus A5 Dc skimmer, amazing price with a 2 year warranty silent DC pump. Available in Canada and serviced if required ever in Canada
