My HUGE skimmer will easily do 1200 gallons or more.




Just dropped the price to $499.

It is 54 inches tall. You could add another chamber to it. I powered it with a Blueline HD100, and it absolutely rocked it. For sure it could have powered it at another 18 inches in height, which would be 6 feet tall then!

Good luck with the build.

So why dont you then ? Becketts, with the proper sized pumps will out most anything else. And for $50 less the pumps, cant beat the price.

Becketts = watts

Go for the octopus or bk.

RK2's were good skimmers in the 80's. Mazzei venturi injectors = ancient.

Although the octo's are chinese laguna copies they are saying good things about them on reef central and they have a 3 year waranty. I just think that the large octo cone best matches your application. No bias as I run a bk.
