Skimmer choice help

MitchSutherland · 01/12/2015, 03:35 PM

I am looking to add a skimmer on my 180 gallon. I don't think I will do reef, but I like the possibility. I am looking at two skimmers. The ASM G3 with the mesh gate recirculating mod and the TUNZE hydrofoamer pump (237 gph or 343 gph) ,or the 2009 reef octopus skimmer 200. Which one? I will have a pretty heavy bioload. Thanks. They are both used.

You should check out the DC skimmers called skimz at BRS website. Here is mine

Sorry I forgot to mention I have a 190g reef. The skimmer in the picture is a dc sm-253 but you would be better off getting something smaller. I think I over did it a bit. These things are very quiet too.
