Skimmer suggestion please

tmccaffery · 03/09/2018, 10:29 AM

I have a redsea Max e170 and getting a sapphire sump this week and looking to upgrade skimmer any suggestions?

I heard about Icecap k2-50 some good reviews on it but not sure if it would be suitable for a tank like this.

Thanks

I think it's between these two:

Lifereef SVS2-24 $489.00 ; Nyos Quantum 120 $399.00

both of those are awesome skimmers! can't go wrong with either, I've personally never owned a lifereef skimmer, but my buddy swears on them.. I've been using a nyos 160 for the last year and I love it.

I love my simplicity but haven't owned anything but a cyclone to compair too so just going by my use compaird to friends. It's very easy to customize in to your tank and was very reasonable priced for what I got imo. If your set on those cool if not you might consider a look.

I’m very pleased with my bubble magus/swabbie/super locker combo.

I have had an AquaMaxx ConeS CO-1 on my 75 gallon since Nov '16. I think it does a great job after it gets broken in. Wish the cup were bigger. It's $289.

He is a very good salesman. I have a reef octopus that works well, no complaints.
