Tim and Kendra Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 My skimmer just took a crap on me so I am in the market for a new one. I have a 75 Gallon tank and currently use a corallife skimmer. I was just wondering what is a good skimmer to pick up. Thanks in advance.

wwarriner Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I am partial to Octopus. Good value Good products I've heard they are really good for their price. I personally use a Euroreef RS80 on my 90 gallon. Is your tank an sps, lps, mixed reef? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshman1204 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I am using a precision marine redline 150 on my 40 gallon and so far have been really happy with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonSequitur Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm really happy with my Euroreef RS80 on my overstocked 55gal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 tfield- I use a Vertex IN-100 on my 90G and I love it. I might be selling it so PM me if you are interested. I'd even come out to your house and set it up if you let me film it for my show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I've used both euro-reef and precision marine at various times, and I can strongly recommend either one. Whatever you go with, follow mark's "plus one" principle and go one step bigger than what you "need" for a tank your size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshman1204 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I would buy the biggest skimmer you can afford that will fit in your sump. My skimmer is rated for like 150 gallons but I am using it on a 40 gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
