Best Protein Skimmer?
So unfortunately I'm on a budget for this and I'm wondering, out of these three protein skimmers, which is the best?
Bubble Magus BM-NAC3+ Protein Skimmer SWC Xtreme 120 Cone Protein Skimmer Reef Octopus NWB110 4” Pinwheel In Sump Protein Skimmer Thanks, Max |
I would go with the Reef Octopus NWB110 4” Pinwheel In Sump Protein Skimmer just based on ratings, but the only way to tell for sure is to calculate dwell time for each skimmer and which ever one has the highest, get it. Once you get to tiny bubbles which all will undoubtedly have, dwell time for a particular flow is the only thing that matters.

I loved my SWC, but I just got my CADlights and its way nice. They're on sale too

Look into the Aqua Max EM100 they are sold at Marine Depot for something like 250 bucks, there also is a thread about them.

What size/bioload tank is this going on?
