what skimmer for a 75 gal system?

supermarvin76 · 09/15/2006, 08:26 PM

I only have a cheapo CPR BakPak 2 right now. I am thinking of upgrading to a new skimmer. The system is about 75 gallon.

What in-sump skimmer would be recommended?

Thanks.

You need to have a ballpark figure on price for better recommendations.

Thanks....I am looking at $300 being the top of the price range.

Euro-Reef RS80, RS-100
Octopuss NW120, NW200
ASM G2, G3
are all in that price range.

ASM G3 or ER RS100 would work. Marinedepot has the RS100 for $310 or something like that.

RS100 is $289. RS80 is on ale for $222
