Which is a better skimmer?

[MjG2000]

Hey, I'd like to get everyone's opinion on which skimmer is better.
Between the AquaC EV-120 & Reef Octopus NWB-110.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I would go for the Reef Octo. I have an Aqua C EV-240 from a previous build and it's an amazing skimmer but I think you get more bang for your buck with the Reef Octo. I just bought a SRO-2000int Reef Octo and love it, it's a beast. Hope this helps bro.

mjg what size tank ? also the aqua requires a pump that will use alot more power as well as they are finicky, never stay dialed in

Hey Noob, I have a 40 breeder, I'm currently running an AquaC Remora Urchin
in my refugium, it's rated for up to 75 gallons. It's a decent skimmer, but I feel
that I need to use a better skimmer, one that can really pull out some serious
gunk.

urchin is ok with a mag 3 or 5 on it, but alot more efficient skimmers out there, how much space do you have and $ to spend

 

[MjG2000]

I have about 7" x 7", not too much room to play with, $100-$200.
Area is larger, just that the filter sock is a corner of the area.

someone has a swc 120 f/s on here which would be a good fit

 

[MjG2000]

Is that a better skimmer than what I already have?

I think if I detach the pump on the Reef Octopus 110,
I'll be able to make it fit. The area is 9" x 12", just
have to get past the filter sock lip at the top. So detaching
the pump should do it.

Does any one have any info in a vertex omega 150 ??

 

[ecvernon]

Omega is a great skimmer but needs at least 10" to fit

 

[MjG2000]

Bump.
