Protein Skimmers

[Kjdejarnett12]

I'm currently designing a 120-150 (2x4 footprint, haven't decided on height yet) reef tank with a coast to coast overflow. Just want to get some opinions on protein skimmers. What would be the best option to go with that isn't extremely expensive. I have been looking at Reef Octopus Diablo XS200. Pro's and con's of this unit and other skimmers in this price range would be appreciated.

Go with an Aqua Euro 250 Protein Skimmer. I have used one for several years and its a great skimmer for your size tank.

Well built.

I've had several skimmers including some higher end and I really love my LifeReef skimmer. Quiet, no fuss, built well, american made, great warranty, no gimmicks, and works extremely well.

I was also looking at the Bubble Mag and ASM skimmers.
