So from reading on the site and looking around I pretty much narrowed skimmer choices down to these four:(in no particular order)
Reef Octopus XS
Bubble Magus
Vertex IN
Reef Dymanics INS
I'm doing a 40 breeder mixed reef DT with a 40 breeder sump. However I'm planning of buying equipment that can handle a 120 mixed reef with the same 40 breeder sump. This gives me the ability to move up if I can or want to in the future without having to re-buy all new equipment. Plus having a skimmer able to run a 120 should make it all the better on only a 40.
It's hard now to really dial down on the skimmer due to footprint of the sump and size of all the chambers. So I need to draw out plans for a sump/refugium. But then again would it be better to plan the sump around the skimmer?
All in all if you were building the set-up I am here which skimmer would you choose? Man this was kinda confusing to type up. I would be lost without this forum thanks guys!
