ideas on a good skimmer

[mildcustom2]

Do you want an in sump skimmer or hang on the back. I have a ATI Bublemaster on my 210G with 75G sump and love it. Its about as close to a Bubble King as I could afford right now .

have to go with a in sump. your skimmer is it working out good for you?

I really like it so far, the only negative I could say is it is sensitive to sump water level fluctuations. Positives, it removes about a litre of skimmate a week from the tank on average. I have a fairly heavily stocked tank with regards to fish, corals consist of 95% sps, the rest being xenia and zoo's. Inverts are the usual clean up crew and a couple of cleaner shrimp, sexy shrimp and a 8" maxima clam.

Hope this helps

J&L used to sell them but I noticed they aren't listed on they're web page ever since they added the super expensive bubble King line. I guess you can't sell a 1,500$ skimmer thats sitting next to a 450.00$ skimmer that looks the same. I bought mine from Hidden reef about 5 months ago and they are still listed on his web page last time I checked.

I won't comment on the $450.00 skimmer looking the same as the $1500.00 one

Skimmers I would look at are:
ATI, Bubble King, H&S, Deltec, Euroreef
