RS250 Euro Reef Skimmer

Is that the best skimmer I could get for the 500$-550$ Price Range for my 120g Tank? I think the stocklist might be heavy, so I need one that could perform well.


Thanks,
Steve

That's a very nice unit.

I always support the MSX Skimmers... I think they rock! MSX-250 or 300 would serve you well.

Euro-Reef RS is a good skimmer. I would just go with the RS180 for your tank unless your just oversizing for a future upgrade.

I run the RS250 on my 150 gallon tank (well, the CS250, which is the same thing). It's nice, I under-power it with an eheim pump though.

Yeah, get the biggest skimmer you can afford IMO. It's alot better for your tank and easier if you upgrade.
