Which skimmer should I buy?
 
Alright so my tank STAYS :D :D :D And that means I need to buy a new skimmer. Currently, I am stuck between CAD light pipeless (love the concept) and Bubble Magus curve 5. My tank has around 70 gallon of total water volume and those of you who knows me, I love heavy bioload. My budget is $200. Suggestions please :D

You love heavy bio load??
I have read your threads. Have you not learned anything?
All reefers have a responsibility to provide the optimum conditions for the fish, coral and inverts they remove from the oceans. I hope you have learned from your mistakes, take care and go sloooooow. Please be patient.

I should have been clear. I didn't mean that I am going to load the heavy bioload now or any time soon. I will definitely go slow :) But as tank matured, it will have heavy bioload. But just don't want to get an under performing skimmer which will be inadequate over time and hence I used "love heavy bioload" ;)

Bubble king
 
Take the plunge and spend the extra cash, you'll not regret this buy. I went to a bubble king a few years ago and would never go back.

It may be a bit large, but once stocked and full, I'm sure it will be fine.
Just my thought though.
HTH,
Bob

I thought bubble magus are considered as great skimmers :neutral: even cad lights have very good reps. But I may be wrong.

For $500, ya. This is a skimmer that would not have to be upgraded for that size of system. It's less than 1/2 price.
