I was thinking about getting one of these skimmers,as my 150 gallon tank is not drilled. Or don't have a sump. My bio load is... Foxface(6-7inches)Yellow tang(3-4inch)Powder Blue tang(3-4inch)Naso Tang(5-6inch)2 wrasse(3-4inches)2 clowns(2-3inch)coral Beauty(3inch)dottyback(1-2inch)5 cleaner shrimp....Also have about 250 pounds of LR.I do a 40 gallon water change once a month. Any help would be appricated!!!

Cheers, from the east coast!!!!

Cheers back at yah! :)

I think this tank might push this skimmer to the limit! But if you are unable, or unwilling, to add a sump to your setup, it might be the way to go. According to Deltec, it has a rated capacity of 120G for a heavily stocked tank, such as yours. Should work though, you'll just have to empty the cup (which is small on the MCE600) quite often. There is a used one for sale right now at http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...485#post287485

Another option is to run a Tunze DOC 9010 inside the tank.

Good luck!

BTW, what are you running right now for filtration?
