Hello to all of you dear fellow reefers!
My tank is approximately 63 gallon mixed reef with a 15 gallon external sump. At the moment, I am using a skims 121 skimmer. The skimmer is a bit unstable (probaly because it is a bit old) sometimes when i get home the skimmer has stopped working and i have to unplug it and restart it to get it working again, and it is pretty noisy. So I am looking for a new one.
I have been offered a used BK mini 200 with a laguna pump for 200 euros but I am not sure if this is the right skimmer for me because of its high power consumption.
The Nyos quantum skimmers have been around for some time now, and I have heard that it is a pretty good skimmer and it only consumes a bout 18 watts of power.
So what do you guys think? is a used BK skimmer still a good skimmer? would the nyos be a better choice for me? or is there something else i should look at?
p.s. sorry for the bad gramma. As you can guess, english is not my language :hmm6:
