• SWC Xtreme 160 Cone

No price range???

I have a BubbleKing Mini 160.. love it.. Get a BK Mini 180.

I have pretty much the same set up as you and I am running the Avast marine CS1 skimmer Love it

 

[reefer_new]

sorry guys
i should have mentioned a price range..

399 $ is my Upper limit

 

[jlaudiofreak]

For your price range look at the Avast skimmer

 

[reefer_new]

not very handy i am sure i would mess up the Avast skimmer when building it

i prefer a ready made one

They both seem kind of small for that setup. Well depending on what you plan on keeping. That being said I love my SWC.

I have a Coralife Super skimmer in my 125 and it works great, easy to use, and inexpensive.

I have a bubble magus cs 180 and it is great.

I use an Eshopps PSK-100 on an 80 gallon. Add a silencer, and drain tube, and best bang for the buck IMHO. I have a PSK-150 that I will use for a 90. I would use either the PSK-150 or 200.

Now i am even more confused

LOL..

swc 160 cone with the custom mesh sandwich (increases from 700lph to 900lph) would be perfect
