Best Protein Skimmer for 110 Gallon Reef?

[Pazzoman]

Hey Everyone,

My cousin is looking into upgrading his eshopps cone skimmer. What kind of skimmer would you recommend?

 

[strgazr27]

Avast Marine CS1 or Vertex Omega 150. The CS1 is a rediculously good skimmer.

Cs1

Hey thanks even found some great info about it on other forums, anyone know a link to see the price of it? Cant find a site to have him check out the specks

 

[Pazzoman]

Think I found a good link,

http://www.avastmarine.com/ssc/do/product/youbuilt/CS1-Cone-Skimmer-Kit

Is this all he would need if he goes with this skimmer?

I have the Reef Octopus SSS 2000 which I upgraded from the eshopps. Its a beast.

 

[Pazzoman]

So far CS1 all together with pump and pre assembled will cost around $375 most likely my cousin would rather have it preassembled however if he decides not it would cost $300

Anyone use a different pump with great results? Maybe a cheaper pump could be used.

The reef octopus mentioned is probably to steep...$500 however I know for sure reef octopus is great.

AquaMaxx EM 200 or 300

When I was doing my research I found a tunze that looked promising around the $375 price range you mentioned just don't remember the model but it had great reviews. I think marine depot sells it.

Seaside aquatics Cs1

I use the sc aquarium sc-320. Its pretty much a knockoff of the Bubble Magus BM-NAC7
Cone Protein Skimmer
But Half the price I also ran the sc-65 for 4 years on my old 36 gallon and it worked great

Sea side aquatics is a great skimmer

 

[Pazzoman]

Thanks everyone for your suggestions looking up the skimmers now.

By any chance how do you guys think of the AquaCurchin Pro with mag 3? Ive only had experience personally with the AquaCRemora with amy 3 and I thought it was awesome.

Than tomorrow or at the end of the week I will put the skimmer list together and have my cousin choose or maybe start a poll here lol if its possible

 

[Rob&Gab]

go with the reef octopus skimmer! controller and pump included.! and its a beast.

Yea before that I had the following :

I tech-200
Cadlight series ( garbage)
Swc 120
Swc 180
And I got the seaside for 100 bucks so I can't complain , but I love this skimmer above all the others so that's why I put the cs1 as my choice for my 57 oceanic reef.
