Tagging along...

I'm currently contemplating the Tunze DOC 9410 (maybe 9415, same series slightly larger) http://www.tunze.com/149.html?&L=1&C...-infoxunter055

But am also interested in the 'ultimate' upgrade that I'd be happy with for the long term!

What type of skimmer and tank details would be helpful. Your skimmer is generally used as a HOB but you may want an in tank tunze or a HOB Reef Octopus many different choices. I'm sure if you provide some more details you will get a lot of differing but informative opinions.

Im looking to see what the best skimmers out there are, regardless of price! what would be your dream skimmer?

I would recommend asm skimmers I have the g3 on my 270 now it used to be on the 175g. Only problem I've ever had with it is the impeller shaft wore out and needed to be replaced. Hasn't ever pulled a lot but I also run a low bio load.
