[Skimmerking]

the biggest thing about a big tank is skimming when you want. When you have to debate on when and if you are skimming enough then you dont have enough power.

here is my look at what is out there. I have had pretty much all skimmers that have been made. Ask around Im the dude to talk to.

Beckett skimmers- amazing skimmers they can be used in or out of the Sump. they need a powerful pump to run them. and trust me the big pumps can eat POWER $$$$$$ but they skimmer the crap out of the water. reefer's use these on FOWLR. these skimmers are once dialed in they are unstoppable . all you do is set lots of air and clean 1x per month and some reefer's dont do that

Venturi Skimmers Quiet low cost to run and fit in the Sump or External. low profile and can compete with the Beckett's. but you need to keep them clean all the time. to run efficient.

Recirculating skimmers the best of both worlds its like having a Beckett and a venturi in one. I have the Deltec AP 702 dual EHIEM 1262's you can run straight RAW tank water to clean the tank. you can dial in super easy and quiet and place anywhere by the tank since its External.

I could go on, however when you have a huge tank like a300 ga why skimp go with what you can get and then some more. I would want a skimmer that can skim at least 3-4 times more then the tank when deaing with Recirculating skimmers you can drop that by 2-3 times due to you are basically re skimming HTH you out

let me know if you wanna get into a talk i can can you
