Best Skimmers for Mid size tanks

[harleyguy]

Good luck, Let us know what you decide to go with... Best advice here is, that more often than not you really do get what you pay for in a skimmer, both in Build quality and performance...

Once again I think you should look into My Reef Creations They are local and make killer skimmers. I talked to Tim yesterday and he said they were even coming out with some really cool new stuff (needle-wheels and such)... Just a thought.... Oh and the prices are great, and you can save on shipping by going and picking it up yourself.

My Reef Creations really need to update us with their stuff. A post now and then wouldn't hurt

Thank you Barbara, I bit the bullet on the Jebo. I'll be providing some feedback on it and if I need to exchange it for something else, then I'll probably go all the way in. It's supposed to arrive today.

My tank is a 72 G bowfront, I have a 15G Sump and a 20G refugium. my set up will be for a Reef, live rock and Fish set up.

I know, as most of us do, that when you first start money is tight and you don't want to put that much money in a piece of equipment. This is your most important piece of equipment.

The Octopus skimmers are nice, as are the ASM (EuroReef knocock offs, but they work). If you have to have a HOT skimmer look at the Aqua C Remora's, they are alot better than Aquarium Systems skimmers. I for years used a CPR Bak-Pak skimmer and it worked, the newer ones have a better output design and better pumps (find one that comes w/ the Accela? pumps, not Rio). Reefinf on a budget can be difficult, but can be done. G'Luck.

I agree 100%

When you throw out the Jebo, go with an Octopus or an AquaC Remora as suggested above. You can also run into good deals on used TurboFloters which while not the best out there do a pretty good job.

Heck get a Korallen Zucht Revoloution (KZ). I'm thinking about getting the KZ Large for my new tank...
