what size skimmer for 90

Mavrk · 08/04/2007, 01:49 PM

Okay, I don't want to skimp on the skimmer, but I also don't want to break the bank on it either. I am planning a 90 gallon tank + Sump. What size should I get?

Any thoughts on brands and the best place to purchase them would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking euroreef or AquaC, but maybe there are less expensive ones for less money.

Thanks,
Mav

Euroreef, ASM, Tunze, Octopus are all good brands are reasonably priced skimmers

Okay, so my sump can only hold a 9X8.5 sump. I think I might go external so I am not as limited (unless someone has a thought on one that would fit). I have pleany of room next to my sump under the cabinet.

What should I use for external? I kind of like the AquaC, but would I get the 180 or do I need the 240? Are there others externals you would recommend?
