Skimmer opinion
 
I am in the midst of building my 30 gal. shallow tank (24"x24"x12") and I need some advice. Someone in my club is selling their Euro Reef RS 135 for a good price. How efficient would that skimmer be on that tank with lets say a high bioload? Plus is the skimmer any good?

oh and the skimmer has a seadra 5000 pump with modded mesh wheel. opinions?

That skimmer was 350$+ new. Heavy load rating of 100 gallon. Might be too much skimmer for that tank unless your feeding a shark.

If you don't buy it PM me the info.. I'm interested

the skimmer is too large for 30 g. it would be fine on a 75 but a 30 its too large.

When ER rated 100 gallon heavy load they meant it. Too many companies still use an "up to" size that means nothing.
