Need a new skimmer
So I am thinking of a new skimmer to help keep my nitrates in check and cut down on noise . I have about 180 g total system . I have a naso tang, powder blue , yellow tang , coral beauty , flame hawk, Mandarin , five green Chromis two small clowns and a cleaner wrasse . I am not sure if that is medium or heave bio load. I have a limited budget and tight 24" of hight and a foot print of 13"x13" . My main goal is to keep sps in my tank from this point on after a recent tank crash . I have a few skimmers in mind , I am thinking about the Vertex Omega 150 the CAD Lights 220 Gallon TIA-1220 or the Bubble Magus Curve9 Cone Skimmer. Any one out there with feed back on these skimmers would be cool. Also is there any other skimmers I should be considering? I want to keep it under four bills if possible . I also started running bio pellets in the cad light bio reactor about two week ago. I am impressed with the quality of the reactor so I am leaning towards the cad light skimmer.

lots of buzz about the aquamaxx skimmers on reef central

I have a Super Reef Octopus 3000 internal. It's got the water blaster pump on it, not the newer diablo DC motor.
It's completely silent. I don't hear air sucking in, I don't hear water moving around, it skims really really well, and pulls tons of junk out of the water. I've only owned SRO skimmers, so I can't comment on others... but I really like mine. I know SRO is spendy, but imo this was worth it. |
Vertex omega and Csc are pretty much on par with pricing, size and use of the same pumps, sicce.
Although the omega looks like a baby bk it says it has a rating of 150g, the Csc on the other hand says 200g The curve 9 I am not a huge fan of and don't think it will fit your space as its 23" tall. |
