Skimmer for Precision Marine R24 Refugium

jrvelie · 04/02/2016, 12:24 PM

Hello I have a Precision Marine R24 Refugium and am having trouble figuring out what skimmer would work good. Does anyone have the R24 and what skimmer have you used.

Bump...

Any comments. Thanks

I don't know what the r24 is, but maybe if you posted it's dimensions and your tank size, someone could chime in on skimmer. I personally like aquamaxx skimmers for the price, quality, and performance.

The sump is
Overall Dimensions: 24”x 12”x 14”
Skimmer Chamber (upper): 10½”x 7”
Skimmer Chamber (lower): 10½”x 11½”
Refugium Chamber: 6½”x 11½”
Pump Chamber: 3¾”x 11½”
Drain Size: Single 1”
Optimized Water Level: 6”

I putting this on a 48x24x12 frag tank.

thanks

I have a reef octopus 150sss in a similar sized sump. Very happy with the results. The only problem I have is that my cabinet is not very tall so removing the skimmer for cleaning is difficult.

Reef Octopus 150 here too. It's a great skimmer. Depending on the volume of the tank you might be able to pull off the smaller one. I think it's the 110
