SKIMMERS SUCK!!!

[Enzo]

Actually no they are pretty sweet. But what I meant was, choosing skimmers suck! Ok I still haven't pick out a skimmer for a 75. I have raised the limit to around 200 dollars, seeing that 150 was just to low. Are there any skimmer's that are good for a 75 gallon reef tank, that are around 150-200. I am thinking of having 100 pounds of live rock, a jaubert DSB, a 10 gallon sump,and a 29 gallon refugium. What I was actually thinking was either a precision marine CV...( forgot all the numbers, but it's the one recomended for a 75 gallon) or a Aqua C PRO. Which one is better for my use? But I am very cheap so I was wondering if there are any good skimmers for a lower price that will due. Also WHat skimmers do you guys use and prefer on your 75's? Thanks

Aqua C remora pro. The best for your buck. If you raise your $ a little more go with the turbofloater 2000 it's awesome(aqua medic makes good stuff). I'd go with either the Aqua Medic turbo floater 2000 or the Aqua C remora pro. Two of the best skimmers out there.

For the price, Aqua C remora pro with mag pump.

I vote the EuroReef ES5-2 It is only 228 dollars at www.marinedepot.com I got mine from them for my 72 gal bowfront although i haven't used it yet cause i haven't set up the tank yet, It is a good skimmer

Is the skimmer going to be in a sump, or a hang on?
If hang on I would go with Aqua C Remora Pro
If sump I would go Euro-Reef CS5-2

I pretty much hear good things about both beckett based skimmers and the EuroReefs. IIRC, Len's got a EuroReef on his 120...

Another vote for the Euro-Reef ES5-2 (or ES5-3).
In the price range you are looking at this would be my choice.

It's for the sump... yah I was also considering euroreef. That was my backup if no one had any better ideas for skimmers

 

[Reef_Monkey]

AQUAC REMORA!

How about a southbay skimmer from jeff's exotic fish? ...$225 works great

I second the response:

If it's a HOT, go remora, if it's in the sump, Euroreef all the way.
