Skimmer Advice

[Chrisq0904]

As I am coming closer to starting up my new 75G i figured I would start looking into buying a skimmer and wanted some advice. What do you guys think about the reef octopus pinwheel 4" http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4392+24783&pcatid=24783 or the coralife needle wheel 125 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4392+13924&pcatid=13924 or maybe you recommend neither and have another one to suggest? Has to be able to handle a decent bio load in a 75.

Thanks
-Chris

I would go with reef octo over coral life.

What are your limitations on the skimmer? Footprint, height, water level, etc.

Yeah what Marvin said, skip the Coralife, you'll grow out/away from it quickly. Go Reef Octopus or the Bubble Magus Curve 5.

Shameless plug, but I am selling my Reef Octopus skimmer for $200. The thread is a few down on the first page.

Someone posted an SRO 1000 for sale, would be perfect

What Marvin said, but add $$$ How much is in budget?

I wanted to stay around 200. I just really like that I can get that reef octopus for that price range. Or I just may that the one rps3 has up for sale.

Send me a PM, I will give you a better price to get it out so I can start my new build.
