Protein Skimmer

roverrange · 09-26-2005, 07:10 PM

I have a 140 Gl FO. I want to go to a reef. I need a better skimmer. Any recommendations for an in sump skimmer? The dimensions of my sump are 10 1/2 by 11 3/4 wide and I have about 28 inches in height. I will be using live rock as my filter. Also, any thoughts on the Red Sea Turbo 250?

Red Sea is garbage.

For an affordable in sump skimmer I like the asm Skimmers. The ASM G2 skimmer would fit your footprint.

i agree with you, but the price is pretty steep... thats why i went with an h&s skimmer. its pretty good i get a cup full every 2 days.

Yo have a very small area for a skimmer, make sure you have enough room before you pay for that "right" skimmer. I am pretty sure it is not big enough for a EV-120.
