Another skimmer help thread

[Ruth]

I am just starting to shop for a skimmer for my new 300g cube and would like some feedback on skimmers. I have done a fair amount of research and also have personal experience with the bubble king. I am leaning towards going with another BK but just wonder if anyone has any experience with any of these other skimmers.

[Ruth]

Don't know if no one has any experience with these skimmers or just doesn't have an opinion but FWIW I have decided to go with another Bubble King. These are amazing skimmers IMO. I had it boiled down between the BK and H&S but decided on the BK because I already know how they perform. Going with a 500 ext. this time around and will probably run it on my 230g until I get my new tank set up.

Wow You must have a giant house for all these tanks I assume we'll be seeing some new tank pics soon??

[Ruth]

LOL that's why the new tank won't be set up for a while. I want to have an addition built complete with a fish/tank room. There is a real shortage of trades and trying to get a contractor to do this may take quite a while. If I could ever figure out how to post pictures I would but I am just too dense or something cause I just can't get it.

Holey cow! Can I come live with you?

Since you mention fish room, have you considered running a common sump. Could you get by with the current skimmers ganged, or trade them in for a large single unit?
