life reef VS3-60”Ok, I’m down to these 3. Which one would you put on a 625 gallon (total system volume) set up?
life reef VS3-60”
MRC Pro-2
Bubble king Supermarin 250
Wondering what was said to you in relation to why needle wheels are not the way to go? To me, if you are going to be using something like a life reef, I would look in bashsea skimmers.I honestly was sold on a BK until I talked to him the other day. He got all in my head about needlewheels not being the way to go etc. After some research that's why i started looking at his stuff as well as MRC
When I purchased my skimmer from Jeff he wasnt very high on DC pumps, now this was about 5 yrs ago so keep that in mind. I went with a mag 24 for mine and have no regrets. However, I know some ppl who run DC pumps without issue so really up to you and your set up on which you want to use. I dont think you can wrong with either.Don't necessarily need the pro-2 but the pro-1 is rated for 500 gallons. I figured with total volume in the 625/650 range the 2 might make sense. So the overall consensus is to go LifeReef.... is anyone running a DC pump on their LR skimmer in an effort to not pull as much power?

No experience with that size skimmer, but i vote for DC.Don't necessarily need the pro-2 but the pro-1 is rated for 500 gallons.
