Good skimmer?

[jade2122]

I am looking to upgrade my skimmer but have a small area to put it. A few people had suggested the tunze 9010 skimmer due to its small size, does anyone have experience with this skimmer? It just looks so dinky compared to most other skimmers. Please tell me if you have any hands on experience

umm what size tank are you looking to put the skimmer on?

go with an octopus... I am not sure what size tank you have but they have relatively small footprints compared to everything else

I agree, and they are really really really good skimmers.

or you could go with a remora or Urchin, small footprint, possibly the smallest, just tall, and the remora can be a hang on back, the urchin is the same thing only built for a sump, you can find them on the for sale forum from time to time, and the easiest pump in the world to adjust.

U can't go wrong with the Octopus IMO

I have an urchin pro if you're interested that I am trying to sell. $125 if you're interested.

I was one of those who recomended it. Stop by some time and see for yourself if you like.

the tank is a 65 gal sps tank. What is the brand of skimmer that reef works carries? Also, I think it would end up being a toss up between tunze, euro-reef, and octopus. So hard to make that final decision. Also does anyone have experience with the urchin pro? Would like to buy new but used is never out of the question. Thanks guys
