Skimmer advise please...

Ifferfish · 04/03/2009, 04:55 PM

Looking to get a new Skimmer for a 270 gallon tank, total volume is 400 gallons.
Have a Deltec now that was great when I had a 180, but the upgrade is pushing the limits of it's ability.
Performance is the motivating factor here, so please offer all advice. I don't mind paying for something that is going to work for a long time

I have heard great things about octopus and MSX skimmers. I dont have one myself but there is a thread on them here on RC somewhere.

I think I am leaning towards a Bubble King unless someone has a real case for something comparable.
Thanks for the info on the other threads....
