Skimmer question

Reefhaven · Jul 30, 2017

want to know what's a good skimmer for my tank? My skimmer pump died and the pump is discounted so I have to get a new skimmer. Tank is 210 gallon with 40 breeder. Currently have 2 tangs and 9 wrasses with lps and sps. Thanks in advance

i just got a regal e300 for my 270 g+ and its phenomenal. because its a bit oversized i used a smaller pump and it needs cleaned maybe once a week! the skim is black

Why not plumb the skimmer into your intake and adjust it with a ball valve

What skimmer is it? I'll bet you could get another pump and make it work fairly easily.

If his pump is broken, how does he get the skimmer to produce micro bubbles, since the pin wheel and air intake is part of his broken pump?

I wasn't sure if it was or not. I thought they are separate on all models, so I was just throwing out a suggestion.
