Hi...can anyone help me...I have an AquaC EV-40 that I run with a Mag 18 that is both using too much energy and not producing as much as I would like. I have heard that I could fix this with a larger pump, but already I want something with less energy draw. After researching I've narrowed it down to the following:
Reef Dynamics INS180 45 watts – rated for180 gallons
Vertex INS280 56 watts –rated for 280 gallons
Reef Octopus Extreme 200 30 watts rated for 225 gallons
Reef Octopus SUPER SRO 2000INT 22 watts - rated for 180 gallons
Reef Octopus SUPER SRO 3000INT 35 watts – rated for 300 gallons
I'm leaning towards the Octopus Super SRO 3000 or the Extreme 200...any thoughts on these or other good producing low energy skimmers? I have a 180 gallon, 75 gallon sump, mixed reef with 8 small fish and a few soft corals that was transferred from a 50 gallon about 6 months ago.
Thanks!
