Skimmer for 40 breeder...

[O.Buckshank]

Thinking Reef Octopus BH2000 HOB... This tank wont be drilled. Is this overkill?

I think that might be the one we run.. I dont remember exactly I think it was rated to 75? But ive heard people say you dont need a skimmer for smaller tanks.. But I cant imagine not having one on any sized tank!!.. Octopus is an excellent brand, im sure theres better but there up there in the rankings!

I was running a BH1000 on my 55, with a very light bioload. This 40 will be a heavy bioload, and I would much rather go overkill, than par.

I run the BH-1000 on my 26g! No such thing as over skimming in my book :) Just allows me to feed more, which has so many benefits!

Yea, I'm gonna go with the BH-2000. It's only $40 more than the BH-1000, and I'm very confident this thing will be a beast. I think I may start a build thread for this tank...
