What is the best bang for the buck skimmer for a 210
Starting a 210 and want info on what the best bang for the buck skimmer is. It is a 210 with probably a 50G sump. This will be a reeftank. Im not looking to go cheap but lets say 200-500 Range, closest to the 200 is obviously preferable.
Thanks, Tim |

$200 is a tough price point to get a good skimmer of that size. Of course everybody has their favorites, but I'd suggest looking at the ASM G-4 for that size...efficient but reasonably priced.

I know its a little out of your price range, but a H&S rated for a 225 is $650, and you wouldn't be dissapointed.
Otherwise, I'd go with an ASM, like the g4x or g5. James

Trigger Systems TS-300 with a Mag 9.5 or 12 will serve you well.
Had one on my old 180G and it kept my tank clean.
