Hello!
I have a RFR250, SPS only and 8 fish and a 30l external refugium added (so ~280l / 74gallons of total volume).
I'd like to upgrade my skimmer from a Bubble Magus Curve A5 (been running it for 3 years now).
The options are:
1, RE BK Double Cone 150 (AC)
2, RE BK Mini 160 VS12 (AC)
3, Nyos 160 (AC)
I wonder if anyone has any experience with these skimmers in this exact tank model?
I'm leaning towards the 1st option, but kind of afraid of champaign bottle type skimmers after the Curve A5 - for me it seems that they are hard to pull a consistent skimmate with & it doesn't help that all three options will be a bit oversized for a 250.
I live in europe, so Reef Octo is not an option. I don't trust the Red Sea skimmers (it's a long story), so those are not on the list as well.
I don't mind if I have to pay the price for it, but it would be a big heart-ache if, for example turns out that the RE skimmer is not good (for my tank).
Thanks in advance!
