Hi friends,
One of my friends is about to set u a reef tank . Its gonna be a strictly sps with some zoanthids.. Biload will be medium..

So wanna get suggestion for the most important piece of equipment - skimmer..

The tank is going to be 36 in x 24 inx12 in witha sump of 36 in x18 inx12 in..
So the net volume will be a little less than 90 gallons.

Here are the shortlisted ones from my end :-
1. Reef Octopus XP-2000.
2. Bubble Magus NAC 7.
3. H&S 110 .
4. SWC Cone 160.

Ofcourse , we cannot afford a ATB or a Bubbleking . So the budget should be strictly within 350 - max 400$...

Chime in your ideas and any other suggestion if you have..

Well theer's a change of plan and have decided to put in a little more and get one of the best .. ATB.. but doubtful about which ATB model..

Their website doesn't state the "Nano" or the "Multi" versions any more..

So is there an ATB which is small for a 70-80 gal tank..
