Skimmer Q&A Thread

[mojo~]

Sorry for short answers. Just tired. Good luck. A lot of great skimmers out there now and pretty cheap. Hope I was able to Help.

Mojo-

Im going to be upgrading from a 75g to 150g or possibly a 200g within the next month or so. It will be mainly SPS and quite a few fish. What skimmer would you recommend going with. Im looking to spend 350 to 600 tops on the skimmer. Will have the sump customize depending on your recommendation.

Thank you in advance,
Eddie

The sea side cs2 is better choice over the cs1. The sns sk2 is great. And the sro 2000 is good too. The bubble blaster has a new pinwheel and is more quiet now. But not sure they all have it yet.

Are the pinwheels available on the aftermarket, I've got the SRO 3000 and I got spoiled by my last two skimmers that were silent...If this skimmer was silent, OMG

Mojo, how's the J&S SK2 working for you? I'm thinking of getting that one for my 100g with a 40-75g sump. Would that be the best choice or would the ATB 840 work better?

+1 Thinking about same skimmer for same tank. Read through last several pages of the thread last night and seems top picks are JNS SK2, Sea Side CS2 and SRO 2000. Which of these three would be the quietest.

I'm thinking of getting a Warner Marine MF-201 for my 125 gallon mixed reef.
I would love to hear any pro's or con's from anyone who has used it, or any of the Warner MF series skimmers.

I like them both very well. I still like the atb 840 slightly better but man its such a close second.

SSA cs2, SRO 2000 xp, jns sk2, octo xs 200, atb 840

Greatly appreciated!

One last question, you mentioned the sk2 running well at 8-9 inches does that apply to the SK3 as well?

Thanks again,

 

[mojo~]

Yap.8 is probably optimal

Between JNS SK2/AquaMaxx Cone 2, SSA CS2 and Reef Octopus SRO XP2000, which is the quietest?

 

[sfexplicit]

Mojo thank you Sir for your endless effort to help others. I'm back to hear your recommendations as you've helped me in the past. Can you please list your top 3 picks for a 200G sps tank heavily stocked?

Your input much appreciated Mojo.

I would say the JNS. The rubber feet and its connections make it really quiet

 

[mojo~]

Your input much appreciated Mojo.

My top 3. Atb 1050a, JNS sk3 or 5, and the Sro 3000xp.
