Chad and Belinda Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I'm know everyone has their favorite brands and some are just as good as others but I would like to hear some input from y'all. We have a 105 gallon tank with a 40 gallon sump. We have about 150 pounds of very porous live tock. I use GRO and carbon. I will have a 3" sandbed when I put the tank back together (had to break it down while a new floor was installed) and a 4" sandbed in the refugium. I use LEDs that are on 8 hours a day including "sun up and sun down" mode I tend to overfeed so please keep that in mind. This will be a new skimmer as I want to have more options available to me. Right now I am looking at a Reef Octopus Regal, possibly the DC 200 SSS. This skimmer comes with a controller but I haven't really figured out how or if that would cut down on over skimming or if in fact that would be an issue. However, I am far from making a firm decision. As an FYI, this will be a mixed reef a variety of fish. Is it possible to overskim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Skimz gets good reviews, as do the Aquamaxx ( I have one and love it) but are hard to come by. I know Aquatek has the PM Redlines for a good price, I bet Jake would price match, that would be good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Big fan of the Skimz for price/quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad and Belinda Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Thanks Robb and Ty. Glad at least to hear from y'all. I ended up ordering the Aquamaxx CO2 from Marine Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
