Please recommend a quality skimmer to me

I have a 93 gallon sps cube , I have a bubble magus 5.5.


I am not thrilled with the control on the 5.5

Reef Dynamics INS135E. I have one on my 90 gallon frag tank and have the INS350E on my 300. Great skimmer, made in the USA.

I'm looking at the vertex omega 150 for my 93 cube I'm putting together now. Might take a look at the skimz as well. BRS just started carrying them and from their feature they did a week or so ago they look to be a pretty good option. They also have a new oval model which helps with the space issue that every cube owner suffers from.

I have a reef octopus that was affordable and does the job nicely.

I like Elos skimmers, well built, skim great, water level in sump doesn't matter, silent, very little adjustments needed.

Brs is covering the warranty on the skimz so that is a plus.

Ya. You'll get 30 different answers. I like the SRO 2000.

I was also checking out the SRo2000 now that the prices have gone down. But then I saw BRS do a review on the skimz and I don't know which one to go with any more

I've currently got an old Euro-Reef, which is now reef dynamics, 12" skimmer on my 200. I'll be switching to a 36" or 48" Life Reef Venturi skimmer for my next tank.

My next skimmer will be a lifereef or mtc Venturi, only because ETSS is gone. Currently running an ETSS 800 on a 160 & it rocks

I also have a 135e on my 90... awesome... but... based on current prices, I might suggest for the money an ATB840 or the bubble king dc150 instead. If price is a concern... go for an eshopps s-150 cone which based upon my experience is an excellent choice also. .
