BIG SKIMMER question?

[Big Tang]

I don,t want to buy two skimmers the bubble king is only rated for 790 and at $2000 grand a pop i,m thinking about 1600ish of water with every up and running .Should have told you all sooner of total water volume i was just wondering which other tank i was going with.So far i,m leaning towards the octopus 8000 any buddy else have any suggestions??

My HUGE skimmer will easily do 1200 gallons or more.




Just dropped the price to $499.

It is 54 inches tall. You could add another chamber to it. I powered it with a Blueline HD100, and it absolutely rocked it. For sure it could have powered it at another 18 inches in height, which would be 6 feet tall then!

Good luck with the build.

So why dont you then ? Becketts, with the proper sized pumps will out most anything else. And for $50 less the pumps, cant beat the price.
