Best Protien skimmer

[Messiah]

Anyone knows which is a real good skimmer to invest in . I have a sea-clone right now but was told that a berlin red sea is good or a coralife 125 is better . Pls give me some advice ....thanks...

I have a coralife 125..i threw away my sea clone(junk). It best thing i ever did...this skimmer "requires" a air pump to create more bubbles....i.m.o it is better...its constantly skimming...and the 125 comes with a micro bubble sponge attached to the return tube to minimize micro bubbles...you cant go wrong...and its not to expensive...

ok cool Thanks so much ! also will it run just as good as a hung-on tank ot it should be use in a sump ?

 

[coralcrazy]

what are you options? sump or hang-on how big is the tank, bioload ect.....
There are lots of great skimmers, just need to know what you can use

Best Bang for buck. Vertex In skimmers. If you have the $$$, Alpha Cones. The alphas run red dragon pumps. It's what I use.

I can get either one for you, if you need!

I don't think you'll find anything better in that price range.
First skimmers should come to U.S. In 2-3 weeks.

SWC Extreme 120 cone skimmer is what I run on my 45g cube. I couldn't be happier with its performance and the customer service is so good that one of there techs gave me his personal cell number when I had some questions on optimum water depth and told me to call him anytime I had any further questions.

ok, lets start here, do you have a sump ? do you plan to have one when you upgrade ? are you planning on corals ? more fish ? if you have a sump area that is usuable for a skimmer ? and what is your budget ? and seaclown, coralife arent even a decent skimmer. till you have seen a good skimmer in action you wouldnt know the differance, if you can answer these question i might be able to assist in find a appropiate skimmer for you

I believe he would prefer a hang on back skimmer:

You can look at these octopus skimmers,

for HOB skimmers these work pretty well.

 

[NYreefNoob]

Mesiah, I'm selling a HOB skimmer: Remora Aqua C with the extra tall collection cup.
$150 w/ a relatively new Mag 3 pump (6 weeks old). let me know if you want it and I'll put it aside for you. I'm migrating to a new tank tomorrow.. so you can have it as early as Sunday morning... also the mag 3 has a good amount of coralline on it to seed your tank with it.
