Help me decide my skimmer please. 90 gallon
I am putting together a standard 90 gallon with 20L sump. It will be primarily sps and fully stocked with fish. It is time to chose my skimmer. I want to stay around $400 and it has to have a pretty small footprint to fit in the sump. The two that I am debating a the super reef xp1000 space save cone or the skimz sk181 cone. Can anyone recommend one over the other and possibly any others that might work better for me? thanks all

Check out the avast diy that appears in the forum. I have one and it works awesome, can't beat the price.

I just hooked up a Skimz SK222 to my system in preparation for a large DT upgrade next year. It is very sturdily built. That being said, the PVC pipe fittings are metric making it more difficult to work with if you need to customize. Also, I'm not sure that the cone is one seamless mold as it has a line running down one side. Other than that, I would say I am getting much more for my dollar by purchasing from Singapore. The acrylic is thick and the twist lock on the collection cup is great. The quality of the parts and build is excellent. I recommend it.
