Best skimmer for a 60g cube?

[The_Blenny357]

Hey, i am looking for a in sump skimmer costing around $150 but that is still reliable, also i need it to fit in a 9" long, 12" wide area.

Thanks!

Reef Dynamics INS80 or the Vertex IN80 would work really will on that size tank, you will have to buy them use, there is a RD one in the used forum that is ablut 3 months old and wants around 175 bucks.

Anything else? Are Eshopps any good?

Can't beat this skimmer for the price. I have one for my 60gal cube and it works really well.

I have a 60g cube now and been using a Reef Octopus nwb 110 for about 6 months now and everything is perfect. I'm going to be setting up a 150 cube and taking down the 60 within the next 2 weeks and bought the reef octopus xs-200 for it because the other one worked so well with my 60.

How much is the nwb 110? Ive heard good about reef octopus too and was leaning towards the bh-100 earlier.

I think it was right around $200 when I bought it. WELL worth it

I think i am gonna go with the scr-301 for now, if i ever plan to upgrade i may try that, thanks!

Here is a mod you can do to the SCA-301. It will cut down on exit bubbles and it will further stabilize the foam head for more consistent skim. Believe me, it works fine without this mod too.
