Roughly 200 gallons of actual volume with tank and sump, 18 small fish, and a large fox face. I have a budget of up to 2k for a skimmer. I only want to purchase once, it has to be as silent as possible. Looking at the following skimmers, any feedback would be appreciated or other options out there
Reef Octopus REGAL 200EXT 8" RECIRCULATING PROTEIN SKIMMER $850 and another Varios feed pump $285.00 ($1,135)
Reef Octopus ELITE 220SSS $1,050
ROYAL EXCLUSIV BUBBLE KING SUPERMARIN 200 PROTEIN SKIMMER $1600
ROYAL EXCLUSIV BUBBLE KING DELUXE 200 PROTEIN SKIMMER $1900
ROYAL EXCLUSIV BUBBLE KING DOUBLE CONE 200 PROTEIN SKIMMER $1200
Currently using a Reef Octopus 150SSS from my last tank. I hate with the recirculating its one more power wire from another pump or I could feed it off my manifold.
