Skimmer for a 37 gal.column

deadboi77 · 10/20/2006, 11:24 PM

Hello all!
First time poster,long time reader.
I`m looking for a decent hob skimmer for a 37 column.Price isn`t too much of a problem,but i`de like to keep it around $200.I`ve heard that a few of them have problems with over filling and dumping water on the floor.I`m not sure how much truth is in this,but i`de like to stay away from the ones that do.I`m pretty new to keeping marine tanks*slowly in the process of starting my first*,but have been doing fresh on and off for a few years now.So, what do you guys recomend?.I should also add,this will be a reef.
Thanks in advance

The Coralife Super Skimmers are a good cheap option. I think the CSS 65 would perform nicely for you, but the pump is huge. I was running one on a 65g...pulls out some serious gunk!

from what i hear the remoras are pretty good skimmers. Ive read alot of mixed reviews actually...some love em some hate em, but i think ive read more good or atleast decent reviews than bad. You could def do worse thats for sure!
