Skimmer Suggestions

[dustinkimpel]

I am going to set my 100 gallon tank with 30 gallon sump up again. Any suggestions on a skimmer under $200?

Maybe take a look at the SCA skimmers.

Keep an eye on the for sale forum. Lots of great deals out there. I picked up a reef octopus nwb 150 shipped for 150 bucks. It's working great on my 75 gal system

I definitely suggest raising the budget by $100 or so if possible. If your willing to do that there's a few decent skimmers to choose from.
I personally like aquamaxx. I've had 5 of them and every single one has performed very well.

The only way you're gonna find anything for that sized tank for 200 bucks is used

Not the piece of equipment you want to skimp on IMO

If on a budget, I think Aquamaxx is a great way to go. I'm running one on my 120, and it's fantastic. I'm planning on upgrading to an external/recirculating at some point in the near future, partially just for ease of maintenance and opening up more sump space, but I do love my EM300!

Reef octopus xp1000 top of the line! Watch for a used one, you should be able to get it for around $200
