recommandation or skimmer
 

i am plannig to get a 120 gal dt in 1 or 1.5 month. my question is can you guys help me for choosing skimmer. i have a remora pro hang on system. but when i got the bigger tank i need a bigger skimmer. can you guys recommend me some good skimmer that i can just search over the internet before i buy??? thnx for your helps...

Deltec, Vertex, Euro Reef, Tunze all have quality models that would suit your tank. A few newer companies are also getting good reviews and come at good prices such as Bubble Magus and Eshopps.

Cost will very but Bubble Kings are supposed to be one of the best, there is a knock off version called Magnus Bubble or something like that, even they get ok reviews, I think Red Sea has a nice new one as well..good luck and good hunting.

+1, I agree with the above.

If interested, I am selling a Tunze 9010, used it for only 4 months, still under warranty... I bought it for $450, JL is now selling it for $405.... I will let it go for $275.

PM me if interested... You can't go wrong with the above recommendations, those are the top rated units.

check out eshopps... Im in the market for a new skimmer too and have done some research and they seem to be a decent skimmer and are very cheap(under $350). Im buying the PSM-150 for my 120gal.

If you ask others, many will say that you get what you pay for... I am one that can also say that. Buying a used top brand will always be better than a new cheaper one. Just my 2 cents.

I personally use EuroReef and Hydor in my tank, both great skimmers

I agree 100% but its hard to come by a good used skimmer lately. Plus I dont have the cash for a BK. I currently run a Euroreef but i busted the thing and now it pour bubbles in my sump so im buying a eshopps and gonna see how that goes. If i get i good X-mas bonus i might spoil myself with a BK mini lol

Check out ATB 840 v. 1.5 - $649 US at Reef Specialty or some other places - supposedly one of the very best - some like it more than the Bubble King. Look for posts by ~Mojo on RC or Reef2Reef - lots of info there. I am very close to getting one after a long time of reading and looking. (Not happy with my current AquaC180).

There's a little more to this than a personal opinion ;)

Sometimes "impartial" reviews aren't as objective as they seem.

Take your time and get what you want, I ran a cheap skimmer for almost a year and a half. All the time looking for a good used skimmer, patience paid off and I found a used SM250 bubble king, this of course limited what i could do with my tank. But now, sky is the limit. Great skimmer, lower price.
