High end skimmers

[jcardenas025]

Has anyone ever compared skimmers like bubble king deluxe 300/ASM GC-15/Super Reef Octopus 5000/Royal-Exclusiv Alpha 250. I am looking to replace an aqua c 240 but these new skimmers have me reading and reading. Any input would be greatly appreacited. DT is 210 gallons, sump will probably hold about 60 gallons

I think i might just do a SWC skimmer. Any thoughts from anyone? Probably something like a SWC Xtreme 350

How big of a tank? What are you going to keep?

You might want to rethink this concerning parts, support, etc., after reading THIS.

The news article is actually HERE.

thanks guys. I appreciate everyones input. I have read the news and was informed about SWC problems. I have reconsidered. I have decided to go with a reef octopus xtreme xs350. My DT is 215 gallons and sump will hold about 75 gallons.
