I have a D&D 1500 pro reef heavily stocked.
Am looking at a new skimmer. I currently have a Reef Octopus 150sss the straight bodied one. I am looking at the next level up and don't have a lot of space. Not adverse to buying secondhand. I notice there are a lot of Red Sea 600s for sale here in the UK. I am concerned there are so many of them which makes me think people aren't happy with them for whatever reason. Thoughts, suggestions and experiences please.

I am no redsea fan, but that aside when I ran a skimmer it was a redsea 600, and it worked quite well for me.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
