Anyone else have anything? Can anyone recommend a good Skimmer for this size of tanks that would be good. My icecap k160 is awesome but they don’t make a large version.

I've been trying to find a used Reef Octopus 3000EXT for my system. There is a nice size Bubble King for sale that was listed on here around a month ago but they seller won't reply to any form of message. I'm wondering if he died. Currently I'm using a Precision Marine Bullet 3, it does a good job but its tall, loud and consumes a lot of electricity.

Noise is one of the things I don’t want to compromise on for my new setup as it is in the living room and my wife is very distracted by the loud aquarium equipment. I definitely want to have an effective skimmer as I have a large bioload with fish in my current 150g.

If you want low noise/silent running DC is IMO a great option. Have you looked into the Coral Box DC skimmers? I know not everyones choice but the D300 I ran worked fantastic when I had it. http://www.fish-street.com/coral_box...rency_code=CAD

Funny you mention this. I recently was looking at the Coral Box Cloud 9 Skimmer as it is a dc skimmer. As far as I can tell it should be able to handle 300g reasonably well and 400g light bioload. I’m wondering if this would be satisfactory or too small for a 305g decently stocked reef tank.

Has anyone heard anything or used the BUBBLE MAGUS CURVE A9 PROTEIN SKIMMER. It’s supposed to be able to handle up to 350g tanks. I have never had a bubble magus skimmer, but they seem to be reasonably priced.
