Hey guys! So im treating myself to a nice quality, new skimmer for an early birthday present.

Ive got a 90 gallon tank and a 30 gallon sump

Does anyone have experience with SWC skimmers? im looking at the Xtreme 160 Cone Protein Skimmer seen here on the bottom of the page http://www.swcskimmers.com/New-Cones.htm

Also if anyone has any other suggestions id be happy to check them out

Thanks guys!

What's your budget? If it is around $400 then the reefoctopus 2000xp would be the best bang for your buck in my opinion..

Knowing your budget would be good, you can spend $200 up to $1000+.. So it depends on what your willing to spend...

Atb skimmers are great...

And in a way your correct on the 2000 being to much... But if its going to be heavily stocked it'll do the job, my opinion...

If anything i'd also recommend the smaller unit the 1000XP..
