Planning a 120gal reef aiming towards sps dominate tank with medium to high bioload
This skimmer will be heart of the filtration so would like to buy the correct option once. So many skimmer options so would like to see what fellow reefers recommend. Open to both Internal and Recirculating models.
Models I looked at so far are:
NYOS QUANTUM 160 Protein Skimmer
Tunze Master DOC Protein Skimmer 9410 DC
Life reef skimmer vs2-24
REGAL 150INT 6" INTERNAL PROTEIN SKIMMER (VARIOS)
CLASSIC 150EXT 6” RECIRCULATING PROTEIN SKIMMER
Thanks

All are probably good, depending on your bioload.

I’m running a deltec and couldn’t be happier perhaps another one to consider if in the price range.

Thanks for your input which deltec model would you recommend

Perhaps even the 600. I got one size up for my tank (1500i) knowing my overfeeding habits and I’ve been keeping it busy.

Adam @Battlecorals would have a better sense of what would work in your case.
