Help me find a Skimmer (Aqua One G216)

[Raphael Dalmeida]

Hi,

I've got this Aqua One Mini Reef 150L that I setup recently to move my Acropora and deal with AEFW .

Well, the skimmer it has, is a Aqua One G216 and it's just falling to pieces, pump barely works.

I want to find a suitable replacement skimmer for this tank (I'm not a big fan of aqua one skimmers).

Note the sump space is shockingly small in this tank, therefore needs to be something that is ok to use as a replacement for Aqua One G216. Any ideas?

Thanks!

the foot print is 9 x 6 inches, height is at 16 inches. your tank is 105 gallons. There are plenty D/C or A/C pumped skimmers that will fit in the sump were this one is.

is this your skimmer

I will look around and give you the skimmer choice I would use if it was my tank

On the low end price wise but also a good A/C powered skimmer that should be a good fit for your tank is the
Bubble magus curve 5 elite protein skimmer

There are a lot to choose from and its based on your budget. The one I stated above is a good fit, easy to clean. But its A/C powered and takes longer to get it dialed in. You do not want a skimmer that is to big for your tank capacity. Better to go on the smaller side

Thanks heaps. I actually looked into this one before though I just wasn't sure it would fit.

I will do some measurements just in case as well. But thanks heaps I'm actually inclined to go with this one you've mentioned, seems like a reasonable price as well.
