What do you have your eye on?

Used OK or new only?

I agree that an SRO In-2000 or xp2000 will be an excellent choice.

Reef octopus xs 160

 

[BKLYN REEF]

Aquamax EM 200. Low wattage at 22 watts and only $299
Kinda looks like a BK mini.
I hear good things about the JNS skimmers also

Very happy with Aquamax EM 200 which I pick up at excellent price. Good up to 240 gal. Sicce pumps are low wattage and super quite.

 

[Zuska]

so its either the Aquamax EM 200 or the Reef octopus xs 160

which one?

I can tell you about the R-O 160.. Because that's the one I have

It's great
It pulls all that bad stuff out
Hate to empty the cup though because of the smell lol

The reef octopus I have I put a neck extension and auto neck cleaner on it and it has been working terrific.

 

[R and R Aquatics]

go with reef octo

I would go with the seaside aquatics cs7. They have it on saltysupply.com for 329.99. Its rated up to 150g so even if you heavily stock your tank you are fine. The psk-600 pump it comes with is great and very quiet. I have the cs8 on my 110 which does up to 230g just in case i deciede to upgrade. Which is another option you have, you dont want to spend twice.
