Hey all, I’m planning on upgrading from a 125 with a 40 sump to a 180 and a 40 possibly a second 40 sump. Currently using and have been using a Diablo 160XS which is borderline too small already and definitely will be when I upgrade. I’d like to get a DC skimmer with the pump external for efficiency. I’m having issues justifying why some are $800-900 and some are cheaper. Looking at the Regal 250 INT. Are there any DC skimmers out there rated for 240ish gallons heavy bio load with external pump that work as good as the Regal that aren’t $900?? I have to assume to some extent, all skimmers should somewhat do the same job, not sure why some are so much more expensive than others of the same rating/options. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
