![]() I was going to buy the Cadlights from J and L and was advised not too due to them not being as well built. I ended up going with the reef Octopus Classic 150SSS and its great but I only have around 170 Gallons total water volume. It pulls some nasty from my tank and I pull a cup of skimmate every few days. I would consider my tank a high stocking level with 3 tangs and 8-9 smaller to medium size fish.
I would highly recommend this skimmer or anything built by reef octopus. |

![]() Agreed with the Reef Octopus. Great quality skimmers for a decent price.
If you're dead set of those 3 choices, i'd go with the Bubble Magus. Good skimmers for the money. I hate Eshopps skimmers. Never had an eshopps that I didn't have to constantly tune. Skimmate sucked as well.

![]() I have a 175 G bow and I'm using the Coralbox DC700 ( petsandponds sells them ) super happy with it, easy to assemble and take apart and works like a charm, easy to dial in as well.

![]() so many choices, ill look at the reef octupius 150, just not sure if it to small. Ive looked at that one a few times but its more then i want to spend, and id have to add shipping, i have a friend in edmonton picking up stuff for me, and jl does free shipping so trying to stick with those 2 options, how are the jns skimmers big als sell?

![]() I have ROdc 200ext recirc running in sump. This thing is a beast. Awesome skimmer. In 9" of water set it on speed 4 with the outlet 90 turned facing up. Gate valve wide open and NEVER have to touch or adjust it. Next to my Vertex Alpha cone this is the absolute best skimmer I have ever owned. Total set it and forget it. I only say next to the Alpha Cone because the Alpha was soooo darn pretty, work wise I the RO takes the cake imo.
