![]() I understand these tanks are expensive but you have got to save money wherever you can. Here and there it all adds up. Michika what do you mean look at them again I was planning on them already. Should I oversize to like the 8000?

![]() I have an SWC cone skimmer that works well. The SWC Extreme 250 1A has the same Dragon pump as on the Vertex and BK skimmers. Took awhile to break in but after that it works like a dream. The pump was a bit oversized for the skimmer, so I had to throttle back the air a bit. It cost about 1/2 that of an equivalent Vertex skimmer. This one is rated for 400 gals heavily stocked. So it may just be the ticket for you. For my situation it's a bit of overkill, but that's fine.

![]() I think SWC has some larger models in the works but not sure what the ETA is. I love my little 160 so I'd def consider another SWC in the future.

![]() For that much water volume budget $1500+/- for the skimmer and pump. Aside from personal preference and reviews you may find, a product at this price point should allow you to accomplish whatever you are looking to do, and not have to be replaced unless you add alot more water.
