which skimmer to choose?
 
hey guys im planning on getting 1 on these skimmers for a 75g tank with a few corals and 4-5 fishes.. which would be the best in terms of quality and not breaking down.. thx!

Coralife Super Skimmer - Needle Wheel up to 125 Gallon
Reef Octopus NWB-110 PinWheel Protein Skimmer -100 Gallon
Vertex IN-100

Coralife is junk
Vertex in series is junk


IMO

Yeah Have to agree of those 3 I wouldn't have 2 of them. I have a SWC 160 and haven't had any issues in almost 2 years.

hows the RED SEA BERLIN SKIMMER (Triple pass rated for 250g)?

Again...unfortunate junk. The Coralife and the Red Sea have been around a long time and that's usually the first mistake reefers make. I would look at the Octo, or maybe look to Bubble Magus.

You can get a swc 120 cone or 150 shipped to your door for 250$ I have a 160 that runs great ...when I was looking around it seemed to be the cheapest good quality skimmer I could find (others may disagree ) lol

Evilweevil 03-13-2013 12:11 AM

Aqua80 I can't find that in their product list?
