went from a 180 with a 45gl sump, to a 180 with a 100gl sump and 80 gl frag tank. been running a downdraft skimmer on previous set up (etss 900) and worked very very well. But seem that with new set up its not working like it use to so im looking for a larger skimmer. Ive only used the Etss for the 5 years ive been in hobby and have no clue about " needle wheel" skimmers.

Have 6 tangs and 2 clowns ,with the hope of adding more smaller fish soon.

also wolud like the skimmer to be some what overrated for my water volume as i plan on upgrading once i move in a few years to hopefully a 300+ display

Looking for something external that doesnt use alot of energy!
 
I'm looking to sell my skimmer, E.T.S.S. Environmental Tower Super Skimmer. Model 1700. Includes Iwaki Pump MD-100 RLT 35.6 gal/min. 63 inches overall height. Base 14 inches X 9 inches.

already have a 600 with a 900 mod...looking for something external but more like a needle wheel skimmer type

Been looking at the "SKIMZ" line of skimmers . Friend of mine has one and loves it

I just recently bought an aquamaxx cone skimmer. I love the thing! I've had it set up for 1 week. I'd highly recommend!
