TOP 10 Skimmers for Saltwater Reef Aquariums on the Market

[dhnguyen]

Never seen a commercial skimmer that couldn't use a modification or two to make it work better. Just my experience though

Reef Octopus SRO 2000 - fills the Octopus Waste container weekly from my 150g.

Anyone have any thoughts on Bashsea's Twisted Skimmers?

SWC xtreme cone series. I've got a 160 on my cube. I love it

Love mine as well!

SKIMZ SK181 Cone. This guy is a beast! An incredible performer! I would put it up against anything in its size class.

Reef Octopus SRO-SSS3000-INT. LOVE IT!!!!! Below shows it with the Reef Octopus auto head cleaner

+1. I have the slightly bigger model and love it. $400 dollars for a top-notch skimmer that's rated for 400 gallons can't be beat

I have a vertex and really like it. I have it out of the sump because I had to order a new impeller. While I was ill the thing ran dry for a while and the magnetic armature got so hot is swelled.

Awesome thread. I have a Warner Marine AS200, I'm a satisfied customer.

He is a local guy and they seam to kick but. I would have bought on in a second but I got a good deal on a MRC

 

[rarelyseriousb]

This thin is a beast. It pulls out a tone. My wife wont be in the house when I clean it it stinks do bad. It is an MRC recirculating dual becket. Plus I have an undersized pump on it.

Fills this in a week depending on how I set it. Almost 5 gallons I think. 120 gallon system.

Alpha 300 is a beast.

 

[Cubbies]

aquac ev240

Run a AquaC as well and don't think I would change it for a thing. Simple, quiet and it sure does the J O B!

 

[Poseidon]

Warner Marine K-2

I really wish I would have kept this thing... I sold it when I took my tank down in 2009.

 

[90greefman]

Ive always used aqua c myself. Used an ev120 on my 90g with a mag 7 and an ev180 on my 120g with a mag 9.5. Both did a great job. Just bought a 280 so im not sure if im gonna mix it up or stay with old faithful.

 

[ruppertb]

any one have a diy from avast that they think is worthy of this thread, I need a new skimmer and about 300-400 to spend on it. Any suggestions. i have a 75g with 200g water volume.
