I'm looking into either the 150-F2001 or the 200-1260.

Are the skimmers set up to run ozone?

What is the waterflow required for each of these skimmers? Currently I own a 90Gallon Oceanic Reef Ready tank and didn't know if the overflow would be fast enough/provide enough gph, for either skimmer
Plan to upgrade in a year or 2, so might as well get the better skimmer now if I can.

Is the total height of each skimmer with collection cup under 26"? I know it says 23.5" on the website for the 200-1260 and 20" for the 150-f2001, but didn't know if that was with collection cup?

Thank you,
Greg

Hi Greg,

You can run ozone safely with the H&S skimmers. The overflow from your tank will provide enough water for either skimmer. The external units recommend for the 150 is up to about 225gph and the 200 up to about 300gph. The height is with the collection cup on. It does take about another inch to remove the cup from the skimmer body. HTH

Thanks Aquarist20.

I just ordered my 150-F2001. :)

However it probably be a couple of weeks before I can get it up and running.
