skimmer choice for 180 gallon
I am in the process of planning a 180 gallon sps dominant heavily stocked tank, with an attached 80 gallon frag tank. Which model BK would you recommend.
Deluxe 200? Supermarin 200?, Double cone 200? or other? |

My personal first choice (depending on the actual fish load) would be the Deluxe 200. I love the Deluxe. It’s build like a tank and like the Supermarin, it’s made of much heavier material than the Double Cone. The SM and Deluxe are our flag ship skimmers. The Deluxe is a bit more flexible in terms of load compared to the SM and will handle pretty much anything you throw at it. It’s about the most flexible when it comes to different load ranges and is VERY under rated. That said, any that you mentioned above would be good choices though the SM200 would need the heaviest load of all of them and is better suited for wet skimming where as the Deluxe or Double Cone will skim dry as well as they will skim wet. My biggest concern would be what you deem as a heavy load. Knowing that would help me better when it comes to recommending the skimmer but the Deluxe 200 would most certainly fit the bill.
