Help me pick a skimmer for a Red Sea reefer 170.
Total volume is 43 gallons with the sump. I don't want to spend more than $250.
Tank will be on heavy side for stocking:
Pair of maroon clowns
Twinspot blenny
1 pajama cardinal
1 blue star leopard wrasse. (I will upgrade to a larger tank in a couple of years)
Skimmers I'm considering:
Octopus 110 SSS
Icecap K2-50 (worried this is too small.
Bubble magnus curve 5 (concerned because I need 8-9" water level and I don't think I can get a higher level than 7.5" in the sump)
Eshops axium X-120
I don't want a skimmer that will be to big and won't produce, but I also don't want to undersize. 40 gallons is a wierd size for selecting a skimmer.
Please let me know what you all think
