Head is spinning ( Skimmers)

[Magickiwi]

First post is a good question. Welcome aboard!

I have a Tunze 9016 for my 90g+15g sump and it is waaaay overkill for my system. I would think you'd be able to use something along the same size, it was just a hair over your high end though. I've heard good things about the bubble magus skimmers, which seem in your price range.

I am running a bubble magus curve 7 on my 70g. I could have gone with the curve 5, but I had the room so I thought what the heck. . I have no complaints. Runs fairly quiet, just slightly louder than the speedwave 1320 on the second lowest setting. Easily adjustable, and seems to stay put once dialed in.

If you are at all handy you should check out the Avast CS1. It is hands down the best bang for the buck. It's a recirculating skimmer with a Sicce PSK1000 pump that can handle up to 200G for under $350 shipped. What's the catch? You have to build it yourself.
I have been running mine for 4 months now and it kicks butt! The build was super easy.

And it's super sexy smoked acrylic!

Thanks for the recommendations . This is only one of many questions i have about my new tank set up . I think i am leaning towards Cad Light TIA 1220. Any other opinions are still needed and wanted . The tank i am going for to start with is a FOWLR but i will be trying a reef down the road and i only want to have it stalked moderately.

Octopus skimmers have been good to me for many years. Their diablo line currently is great, albeit I have had issues with one of my pumps. That aside the skimmers I have make some of the most foulest skimmate I've ever (unfortunately) been exposed to.

you wont be disapointed with CADLights
they are quiet; low power wattage and good waranty.

I'm dealing with the worst customer service in my life with cadlights, very poor warranty if any

I've got a Reef Octopus Xtreme XS 250 and love it. Great bang for buck. Sicce pump, quieter than my last Tunze skimmer. I think its got great value
