Would a ER RC-135 be a wise purchase???

[Fly 75]

I have the chance to get a great price on a ER RC-135 skimmer. What do you think, is it a good skimmer and will it perform better than my RS-250 (which wouldnt be hard at this point)? What about running 2 skimmers, 1 internal and 1 external, is this stupid? Would be for a 265g!

I have a RC135 and that thing is a beast.

Running both isnt a bad idea but no way a RC135 could handle 265 on its own

whats the best pump to use this thing external?

To feed it? Anything thats 1.5 to 2 times the system volume

RC135 would be a downgrade from an RS250. Whats wrong with your RS250? I had one and it worked really well.

^^^ My thoughts exactly, the 250 is more capable than the 135 regardless if its a recirc

It would have been an impulse purchase. I gat caught up in the recirc idea and thought it would have been better. I can seem to get the rs 250 dialed in and my experience with ER and their customer support has made me decide to look else where for a skimmer. Thanks for knocking some sense into me
