I am planning out the equipment for the 150 peninsula I just picked up
Tank will be plumbed down I to a sump approximately 40 gallons or so. In the future I may plumb in a frag tank or second small display to showcase small nano sized fish and crabs

I am trying to decide on what skimmer to go with I am looking at

Nyos 220
Reef octopus regal 200int
Reef octopus regal 200sss
Reef octopus elite 200 int
Maxspec areaqua duo

I would love a royal exclusive but just can’t spent that kind of money right now on just the skimmer.

to be honest I have had RO skimmers. but currently have a lifereef skimmer and no complaints at all. I would go with a lifereef skimmer over any other skimmer out on the market. ipump goes out on the lifereef. just go out and buy a new one. that is one thing that actracted me to lifereef. plus it just works great. a real simple setup and hasn't changed in years... lifereef.com.
 
ro elite, varios dc pump allows you to lower pump speed if low bioload.
Happy with my 150.
 
Checking local forums I was able to locate a RO regal 200sss brand new for a great price.
I am thinking I may go with that option as with that price I can get the skimmer and order a neck cleaner and it will still be 150 less then the Nyos skimmer
