upgrade a SCA-301 skimmer for 50 cube

Pokerman11 · 06/03/2019, 10:04 AM

Running a 50 cube from SCA aquariums. The kit I got came with a SCA-301 skimmer but that thing is a bit too loud and not sure it's doing all that great of a job.

Looking for some recommendations on a internal skimmer. This tank sits in my office with me so being quit is important.

My setup:
Mixed reef Mostly softies a few SPS
Apex controller
Aquetic life t5-hybrid w/ Radian XR15W
3 camber glass sump (19-3/4"W x 16-1/2"L x 13"H)
2x Tunze bottom mounted (no sand in this tank)

My sca 301 is quiet and skims as well as my bubble magnus if not more consistent.

Simplicity 120 skimmer, very quiet and good C/S.
