Leakytree Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I am looking for a Protein skimmer for my new reef tank setup. Looking for something that is rated for 250 gallons+ and wont break the bank. pm or text 512-818-629zero Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I recommend a Skimz SM201. They are about $450 online but well worth it and cheaper than other similar rated skimmers. I don't think any used ones have been available on the forum for quite some time. I think the SM161 may have been available recently though for around $250. You can look in the Hardware section.

Sascha D. Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have a brand new, in box, SCA-302. It's rated for 180g. They normally got for around $150, but I'll sell it for $125 if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakytree Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Well, the tank is a 160g with a 60 gallon sump. Thats temping sascha, but I'm a little nervous about running a under rated skimmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefrevolution Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I have a trigger systems ts300 with panworld ps200 pump (1750gph). Beast of a skimmer. Used to run on a 150g and it was honestly overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
