Good Skimmer (internal) for 125 gal

rfalvey89 · 08/30/2013, 09:23 AM

Thought I would post this question...

I will be getting a 125 tank to upgrade my 90 gal in the next few days.
Currently on the 90 I run a Reef Octo 150 with a TLF reactor with biopellets.
This has worked well with frequesnt water changes.

Over the next few days I will be getting a 125 gal and wondering do I step up to the Reef Octo 200 or if there is another skimmer for under $350 that you have had success with...

Thanks

There's a few better choices imo than the reef ocs. Look for a 6" diameter skimmer powered by a sicce pump. Aquamaxx would be your best bet but they are getting hard to come by because so many people have jumped on the bandwagon. If you can wait to get one though you wont be disapointed. The em200, cone2, and coneS co2 would be awesome but there's other skimmers that would work great also. The sea side aquatics cs1, es7, and es2 come to mind. The vertex omega 150. Jns sk2 ( same as the aquamaxx cone 2). Atb 840 v2 would kick a!$ too. all of the above are sicce powered skimmers that perform great.
