Go with the 200.

That's what I'm thinking :biggrin:

Do you have any experiece with th SWC skimmers?
Or any other skimmer that may work for me... I'm currently skimmerless :neutral:

Depending how much you want to budget for it. But for that price range, that's not a bad skimmer at all from the reviews. I am not the most bias person to be asking.

Thanks, the price range is around 350 :neutral: Hopefully someone else will chime in :mrgreen:

What's wrong with your octo?

Nothing it's just that I want an insump skimmer for the looks :mrgreen: Beside the tank is in my room and that the fact that I'm going away and my friend knows nothing about tanks she will only feed the fish and top off... If the cup overflows it will overflow in the sump.. so I don't have to worry about a smelly carped and mad neighbors :P

+1, you can even vent the top with a charcoal filter.

well it looks like your skimmer has a drain hole connected to a 1 gallon container. why not just put a larger bucket in there instead of modding it into a collection cup.
