Looking for external skimmer recommendations
 

I have a 350 gallons total water and want to see what is best and reliable skimmer for price wise. Planning on mixed reefs near future. Thank you for your inputs.

I like my Lifereef skimmer.Set it and forget it.

There is actually a thread about this going right now

Where did you buy your skimmer?

Ordered directly from Jeff at lifereef.com. The 6 foot tall one is rated for 1000 gal.

And how big is your tank?

180. System volume is closer to 280.

180G and you ordered a 6 foot tall. It's rated for 1500G+. Also did you ordered together with the pump?

The grossness.
 

Also is it easy to remove the skimmer cup.

Not currently running at 6 feet tall.5 foot tall but I have the extension ready to go soon.I did get the pump with it. Yes it's overkill for my system but wth:)

I shut the skimmer pump off,release the quick connect tubes,unscrew the nylon bolts a bit and lift the top off as 1 unit.Clean it,reinstall and fire it up.No adjustments required.

And....the way it pulls air in your house won't stink.

Thank you so much!

Anytime:biggrin:

I have a bashsea twisted skimmer. Rated for about 1000 gallons. On a 300 twv.

Works great.
