Skimmer Recommendations

I’ve got a 475 gallon aquarium fairly heavily stocked and about 200 gallons of other system volume between sumps and reactors. I don’t have sump room for an internal skimmer so I’m looking solely at an external setup. Could I get a recommendation from someone on what royal exclusiv skimmer they would recommend??? Thanks again for all the help!

How many fish in the system and what size? A heavy load is about 1/2” of fish per display volume.

I’ve got about 125-150” of tangs/angels. Then about 100” of small fish.

In that case, an SM250 or even better a Deluxe 250. The BK’s are very conservately rated so I wanted to be sure you had a decent load before making a recommendation. Both are our flagship models but the Deluxe allows for a bit more fine tuning and will dry skim as well as it will wet skim where as the Supermarin’s are designed to wet skim. You could go with a Deluxe 300 but the Deluxe 250 would have no issues keeping up. I wouldn’t recommend the SM300 though.

I run an SM250 on my 500 gallon display. I have a similar load with about 70 fish. Many of which are large. The only skimmer I’d trade mine for would be the Deluxe.

We are out of stock on them right now and won’t have more for about 60 days. I will send you a PM.
