Skimmer Q&A Thread

[Jose Moreno]

50 gallon SPS only tank. Have two fish would like to add a few more.

What size skimmer would you recommend?

Currently the tank has a Bubble magus nac 3.5 rated at max 80 gallon tank.

I have a Diablo XS160 rated for up to 160 gallon tank max on standby that I purchased for cheap.

What would you guys recommend?

The xs160 would do beautifully

Well I'm screwed!! I just measured my filtration openings on my AIO and it's only 3 1/2"!!!! Ughhh

Now I'm looking at HOB models but being a corner tank they all seem to be huge!! And kinda defeats the corner tank thing. Any help on an internal that will fit or a rear that won't protrude to much. Incase you didn't read my first post on this its for a 100 gallon acrylic AIO corner tank. Thank guys n gals. I will keep my fingers crossed!!

A Tunze 9004 might its 3.5" could do 2 of the 9004. No single internal skimmer will work bioload wise

I do have room for more than 1. It will be a tight fit but it it works that's fine with me!

Strangely appropriate... have you looked at a Red Devil Nano skimmer from Marine Sources. I can PM you a link if you battle to find any info.

 

[Diablo]

Hahaha!! I will look now.

 

[Diablo]

I found this on. Anybody have any experience with this model?

I guess it is hard to find!! Plz send link

I thought you didn't want HOB.

 

[Khh27]

I would either go with that or aquamaxx

 

[Diablo]

At this point I'm willing to go either way! Oh that doesn't sound good!! Haha. I would prefer an internal but a HOB that is not so huge that the tank is way out away from the wall would be ok!

I've sent you a link for the RDC Nano 150. I recently bought the model up from that (RDC 250) off Aliexpress. Fairly quick shipping and surprisingly good quality.

A quick search shows me they're on eBay too.

 

[Diablo]

Got it thank you

I'm leaning towards the Remora Pro S
