Which skimmer??

kschweer · Sep 25, 2011

Hey guys I am setting up a frag tank and need to get a skimmer for it next. The tank is 24"x24"x12" (30 gallons) with a 15 gallon sump. I am looking at the Reef Octopus NWB-110. Reef Octopus 4″ Pinwheel In Sump Skimmer | CoralVue
Or the SWC 120 cone skimmer. SWC 120 Cone
Which one should I go with. Any other suggestions would be awesome too.

Thanks,
-Kevin

I have sold alot of both, personally they are both good skimmers.

SWC does come with an extra pinwheel that is upgrade which is a big plus, also uses an Atman pump. A

Another great option is AquaMaxx Skimmers too. They are affordable and reliable. Have any questions on them just let me know anytime.

I would go with the SWC.

+1 for the AQUAMAXx skimmers thats all I do on my clients tanks now they are super quiet affordable and the best performing for the price skimmer I've came across I actually think they deserve a lot more attention to be honest!
