I also have a 90 gallon and mostly everybody recommended me the reef octopus extreme sx 160 or swc xtreme cone 160

i end up gettin the R.O over the SWC

I have a 90g also, I have the bubble magus 150 skimmer rated for a 80g and it does me perfect.
But people usely prefer a skimmer that is rated for double your fish tank.

And it can depend on the bi-load of your tank ;-)

and every few days i have to put top off water in it.. thank you!

 

[NYreefNoob]

no i meant is where the skimmer will sit stay at a constant level ? if not i would look int oa recirc skimmer, and seeing how that is deisgned the water level would flux especially if your not using a ato next question is what do you have to spend on a skimmer

 

[meagheavz]

yeah no. if flu and i add top off water in the sump area of the wet dry.. i was thnking of getting the marine land 300 since i have 100. i know it would fit. im looking at the skimmer u said in about a min or so

 

[meagheavz]

i cant really connect it to anything inthe tank. unless there a skimmer that also the return water pump in one thing
