Skimmer recommend for 200 gallon

[md14fish]

Can anyone recommend a skimmer for a 200 gallon reef?

Budget? Total water volume? Type of reef, ie: SPS or soft corals? Heavy or light bioload?

I would go ASM G3

Nah you need more then a G3. I wouldn't put a G3 on anything bigger than a 135.

Depending on your budget a MSX250, ReeFlo Orca 200, Mini Bubble King 200.

I have a msx250 on my 210 gallon mixed reef and it works great.

If your on a budget I havnt had any problems with my g3 but everyone has there own opinions.

Thanks for the replies
It will be a mixed reef with high bio load.

if your on a budget....my LFS has a big reef with a HUGE octopus skimmer on it....but if not on a budget i like those reeflo ocra or bubble kings

Reeflo ORCA 200 or 200 pro hands down!

volcano if no budget!!!

It's my understanding that the reputation on volcano's has changed. The customer service that follows them isn't that good anymore. I have seen a couple lately taken down, sold, and replaced with reeflo pro's, bubble kings, atb's etc... all because they couldn't get someone to help them with their problems with their skimmers.

Thats what can kill a good company is customer service
