BK Selection Advice Needed

[ikatobiko]

I have a 300 gallon SPS tank, 100 gallon sump, 50 gallon refugium, and a 40 gallon frag tank. Estimated total system water volume is around 500 gallons.

Here are my questions:

Which BK model would be the best for this system?

Internal or External (I have plenty of room either way)?

I have been hearing that input and output adapters are required. Does BK provide these to US users with the skimmer or do we need to get them ourselves?

Is there a quick way to get replacement parts if something breaks?

We do have the replacement parts here in US & you can get service through the dealer that you buy the skimmer from ,many of the larger dealers even have some parts in stock.
As for which skimmer depends to how heavy the bioload ,do you wish to overskim,...

I have mostly Acropora colonies with a moderate to low fish-load.
Can you recommend the best model for this scenario?

Thanks

+/- 500 gallons/(2000) Liter so i think, the Modell 300 internal, was the best BK for you.. if you have the space in the Sump...
