Skimmer Review

rdnyva · 11/15/2013, 02:41 PM

I have a 45 gallon long with a 33 gal long sump filled about half way. I was looking at a Reef Octopus NWB150 for this tank, mostly because of the price and because I've had a RO skimmer in the past was happy with it. I'd be interested in opinions and recommendations for other skimmers in this class and price range.

Its what I use.on my 75. The only issue I have seen people complain about is it over flows alot. But keep the water level the same it usually stays the same

I just went from a ten gallon sump to the 33. Because of space I was using a cad lights pls-100. It continually overflowed. That's why I am replacing it. It would work fine for an hour, a day, a week, then suddenly overflow. Is overflowing a problem common to all skimmers?
