220 gallon shallow build

[Prariecanuck]

Ok I'm looking at skimmers I've had the reef octopus recommended but was wondering if any has a bubble Magnus and if they like them? Also there's been a few changes to the design the wife decided that she wanted the computer where the tank was going so we can see our kids when there on it. So I can up with an L shaped tank computer desk in one, it'll only be 200 gallons now so ill need to adjust my ideal stocking list. Also got my hands on some free t8 lights was thinking of using them with led strips( it'll be fowlr) to get closer to a full spec light. Any thoughts glass will be ordered Monday do I'm hoping by next weekend to have the tank and stand/desk built.

I have the curve 7 running in a 90g. Seems ok in that it's fairly quiet, was easy to set up, pulls out stinky stuff. That being said, it's my first experience having a skimmer so I have nothing to compare it to. Have you checked with Colby at bayside?

Yes many times but comparing prices online to there I think I'll be ordering one but I just want to hear other people's experiences with both skimmers first. Good to know about the curve is working well for ya thanks
