I’m in the process of setting up a 40 breeder sps dominate tank and was curious which slimmer most are running on a similar setup. Plan to have a 40 breeder as a sump also with a decent sized refugium.

I am a big fan or red sea skimmers but there are plenty of brands that are popular and reliable. What refugium light are you planning on getting?

I am running a 40b with a 40b sump using a Simplicity skimmer. I really like it and it's really pretty quiet, I can't hear it with my stand closed. Does a really good job producing skimmate as well.

I have a 55g and a 60g system that I am using #reefoctopus skimmers on - a Reef Octopus 110INT and a Reef Octopus 150INT. I also have a Reef Octopus Essence 130 skimmer, but I think a 110 would work very well on a 40 breeder. Good luck with whatever you choose!

I had a Bubble Magnus Curve 5 but it was skimming too good and stripping my water. I have since replaced it with a Bubble Magnus Nac 3.5
