Skimmer ideas for 75g SPS reef

DeepThought · 08/30/2012, 03:23 PM

Hello all!

I am looking around the internet and can't really find the information that I need. So, I am looking for you guys expertise!

I am setting up a 75g SPS dominated reef tank and I don't want a refugium. I have been looking into using a skimmer and carbon dosing. I have been looking at Octopus skimmers because I have heard really good reviews on them. Possibly a Diablo 160? I have no clue if I will be overdoing it though. I could really use some help with this.

ALSO, I chose Octopus brand skimmers because I see that the brand also has neck cleaners and even a skimmate locker! I'm really excited about this and looking forward to hearing you guys suggestions on what you would use and why...

I am working on a budget of around $350 for a skimmer alone. I would like the neck cleaner and the skimmate locker attachment for a skimmer as well because of the ease of maintenance. I really want something highly efficient that will be great for carbon dosing and keeping the tank super clean.
