For your 93 G tank, I think the SWC 180 is more suitable than the SWC 160.
If you haven't decided on your skimmer, take a look at reef octopus skimmers. Some of them use the same pumps as SWC and some have newer sicce pumps and are supposed to be better than the sicce 2500 pump.

George i have to disagree I ran that 160 on my tank which was full of ACans and softies and sps and with 30 fish and a 30 ga main tank and it was pulling some nasty crap out.. Persnnely the Atman pump that Jayson sells with the cone is a far better pump then the sicce I have used both and can back up both. ATMAN

for the little difference in price I would go with the swc 180, if you ever upgrade you are set. Yes the 160 will do a 93g nicely but depending on how heavily stocked it is you will be close to the limit. 180 is fine on noise, I haven't heard the 160 but I cant see it being majorly different.

SWC
 
Hi,

We have the SWC skimmers in stock and although we've sold out of the 180 and 230's we have lots of the cone 120, BMK-150 and cone 160 in stock.

These are one of the best skimmers available for the value.

Please give us a call 604-625-2268 if you have any questions regarding them.

Oh yah, we also have aptasia zappers. They are an awsome easy way to keep unwanted pests at bay. zap zap.

Cheers,

Paul
