Any more info on this Skimmer? We are in the market and looking for a good little skimmer for our 20 Gal. We don't want to spend any more then $150 on a skimmer.

I have the 150 I think, Its on my 75g fowlr, it works great, tank gets fed a lot and the skimmer cups fills half up in anout 2 and a half days, pretty thick stuff. Never tried it on my reef tank though. Great for the price

Not too new, they have been around atleast 3-4 years

They have some vids on youtube of there skimmers running. Search for PSK 75, that is the HOB skimmer. Then look for the "users" other videos. They have the PSK 200 in sump model on youtube as well.

dont skimp on the skimmer. find one that fits your tank, inhabitants, and style of feeding/stocking.

think of it like this, you can easily spend $150 on a single fish, that most likely will not last nearly as long as a skimmer.

the skimmer is what will enable you to keep all those little and not so little livestock purchases. in the end, the skimmer will turn out to be just a small fraction of reefing.

this doesnt mean you have to overspend on a skimmer, just dont lock yourself into a certain amount just for the amount sake.

good luck.

btw

take a look at vertex skimmers, they have a superior build quality and are at the same price point.
