Bubble Magus 180CS Protein Skimmer, Question

Do you think this skimmer would be enough for my setup? Tank Size 48X30X20 and my sump is a 42 gallon. And has anyone used this skimmer, if so would love to here some feedback I'm in desperate need of a new skimmer.

Thanks

Have you looked at any other brands? I see SWC out of Manitoba have some very cool stuff, nicer than Bubble Magus IMO. They have an Extreme Mini S http://saltwaterconnection.com/index...products_id=77 that would be a good fit for your tank. I have never owned one but I have heard a lot of good about them... and they're Canadian.

+1. The BM line is no longer price competitive given the other offerings in the market. The SWC is $120 less and performance should be the same.

Or save some money and get this:

At the risk of starting a debate, the evidence shows that cone skimmers do not outperform non-cone skimmers. So why pay the premium?

I personally love my Bubble Magus BM200P and find the quality and performance outstanding.

Have you personally used this unit? I have not even herd of these, but I really have not looked around at a lot yet, I just know I need a new one bad

I should add that I think the Bubble Magus is a good line and I think my Bubble Magus NAC6 is a great skimmer. But I bought it directly from China and paid much less then the new Canadian prices. I just have a problem with the new pricing now that a "Canadian" distributor has stepped in. You can get skimmers just as good or better for less money. So definitely comparison shop to see what else is available for you. PM me if you want more details.
