Another Skimmer Question

WeeJ · 07/28/2007, 06:32 AM

Hi All,

i wanna upgrade my skimmer for my 200 gal Fish Tank which is kinda over populated. Thinking of the ETSS. But should i get a re-circulating skimmer or downdraft skimmer. Or should i get the MRC-2 ?

suggestions needed please.

Can you give us some information on your set-up? Sump? Fuge? HOB or in-sump skimmer?

Sump and fuge with DSB and cheato..(around 80lbs of liverock in the main tank). Running chiller, Phosphate and Carbon reactor but want to upgrade the skimmer to an external. Currently have the V2 Skim 800 Skimmer and Insump Berlin triple by-pass but both are trash.

Get a DAS ex-2 or ex-3 (protein-skimmer.com) or a custom Orca. Whatever you can afford.
